Abstract excerpt
Human galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (hGALT) is an evolutionarily conserved enzyme central to D-galactose metabolism. The impairment of hGALT causes galactosemia. One missense mutation, an aspartate to asparagine substitution at amino acid 314 (N314D), impairs 50% activity in the homozyg...
