Abstract excerpt
Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) (UTP: alpha-D-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.10) is an essential enzyme of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism. Mutations in human GALT are associated with the potentially lethal disorder galactosemia, which affects 1 in 30,000-60,000 live-born infants. Although a number of base substitutions have been identified in the GALT alleles of...
