General description
Research area: Cell Signaling
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) is a galactose metabolizing enzyme that facilitates the simultaneous conversion of uridine diphosphoglucose (UDP-glucose) and galactose-1-phosphate (gal-1P) to uridine diphosphogalactose (UDP-galactose) and glucose-1-phosphate. Classic Galactosemia (CG) is an inherited metabolic condition caused by deficiency of GALT activity. GALT gene is mapped to human chromosome 9p13. Deficiency of GALT results in type 1 galactosemia.

The X-ray crystal structure of the At5g18200.1 protein has been determined to a nominal resolution of 2.30 A. The structure has a histidine triad (HIT)-like fold containing two distinct HIT-like motifs. The sequence of At5g18200.1 indicates a distant family relationship

Classic galactosemia is an autosomal recessive inherited error of galactose metabolism. It is caused by lack of galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, an enzyme that is required to metabolize galactose-1-phosphate to uridine diphosphate galactose. The build up of galactose-1-phosphate is toxic at

All monodeoxygenated galactoses were treated with galactokinase, and for the 2-, 3-, and 4-deoxy compounds, transformation into the corresponding galactopyranosyl phosphates could be observed. In case of the 2-deoxy derivative, further reaction via UDP-2-deoxy-D-lyxo-hexose (UDP-2-deoxygalactose), which was also obtained chemically

Classical or transferase-deficient galactosaemia is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by mutation in the human Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) gene. Of some 170 causative mutations reported, fewer than 10% are observed in more than one geographic region or ethnic group.
