Abstract excerpt
Impairment of the human enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) results in the potentially lethal disorder galactosemia; the biochemical basis of pathophysiology in galactosemia remains unknown. We have applied a yeast expression system for human GALT to test the hypothesis that genotype will correlate with GALT activity measured in vitro and with metabolite levels and galactose sensitivity...
