GALACTOSEMIA Web DB: A web accessible database of Galactosemia related proteins

2016-01-13

Abstract excerpt

Galactose is a monosaccharide present in several foods and, once introduced into the body, it is metabolised by a biochemical pathway involving three enzymes: galactokinase (GALK), galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT), and UDP-galactose-4'-epimerase (GALE). Hereditary deficiencies of these three enzymes in humans are related to three different forms of the genetic disease globally called "galactosemia"...
