Abstract excerpt
The metabolism of galactose via enzymes of the Leloir pathway: galactokinase, galactose-1-P uridylyltransferase, and UDP galactose-4'-epimerase, is a process that has been conserved from Escherichia coli through humans. Impairment of this pathway in patients results in the disease galactosemia. Despite decades of study, the underlying pathophysiology in galactosemia remains unknown. Here we have defined the...
