General description
GALT (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) is majorly involved in the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism. Structural studies have been reported that GALT is a homodimeric molecule. Each monomer consists of six α-helices and a β-sheet formed by nine anti-parallel strands and each monomer contains two active sites for enzymatic activity.
Specificity

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
GALT (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase) plays a crucial role in galactose metabolism. It catalyzes the conversion of galactose-1-phosphate to UDP-galactose through a double displacement mechanism. The reaction is highly dependent on the GALT presence. Galactose-1-phosphate (gal-1P) interacts with the uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-Glu) to produce uridine diphosphate-galactose (UDP-Gal) and glucose-1-phosphate (glu-1P). GALT facilitates the process of transferring uridine monophosphate (UMP) group to the gal-1P. In humans, alteration in GALT activity causes a classic disease termed as galactosemia.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase catalyzes the reversible transfer of the uridine 5'-monophosphoryl moiety of UDP-glucose to the phosphate group of galactose 1-phosphate to form UDP-galactose. This enzyme participates in the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, and its absence is the primary cause

Galactose-1-P uridylyltransferase catalyzes the interconversion of UDP-galactose and galactose-1-P with UDP-galactose and glucose-1-P by a double displacement pathway involving a uridylyl-enzyme intermediate. The amount of radioactivity incorporated into the protein by uracil-labeled UDP-glucose is decreased by the presence of UDP-galactose

Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) catalyzes the conversion of galactose-1-phosphate to UDP-galactose, a key step in the galactose metabolism. Deficiency of GALT activity in humans caused by deleterious variations in the GALT gene can cause a potentially lethal disease called classic galactosemia.
