Abstract excerpt
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) is expressed in most tissues, but the near total absence of catalytic activity in humans with the disease galactosemia leads to specific organ dysfunction, the pathophysiology of which remains an enigma. To characterize the transcriptional regulation of the mouse GALT gene, we isolated and sequenced over 3 kb of a 5'-flanking sequence and functionally characterized...
