Abstract excerpt
Elevated galactose levels can be caused by several enzyme defects, one of which is galactokinase. Galactokinase deficiency cause congenital cataracts during infancy and presenile cataracts in the adult population. We have isolated the mouse cDNA for galactokinase, which shares extensive amino acid sequence homology, 88% identity, with a recently cloned human galactokinase. It is expressed in all tissues examined....
