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.

Galactose is metabolized in humans and other species by the three-enzyme Leloir pathway comprised of galactokinase (GALK), galactose 1-P uridylyltransferase (GALT), and UDP-galactose 4'-epimerase (GALE).
