Galactokinase (GALK, EC 2.7.1.6) is a cytosolic enzyme with a wide occurrence across the taxonomic kingdoms. It catalyzes the phosphorylation of α-d-galactose (Gal) to α-d-Gal-1-P. The cytotoxicity of free (unphosphorylated) Gal is well documented in plants and causes marked defects.

Galactokinase (GALK) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder causing cataract formation that can be prevented or mitigated by early diagnosis and galactose-restricted diet. The aim of this retrospective study was to explore whether GALK-deficiency meets the criteria for neonatal mass

The genome is nonrandomly organized within the nucleus, but it remains unclear how gene position affects gene expression. Silenced genes have frequently been found associated with the nuclear periphery, and the environment at the periphery is believed to be refractory
Galactokinase (GalK), particularly GalK from Escherichia coli, has been widely employed for the synthesis of sugar-1-phosphates. In this study, a GalK from Bifidobacterium infantis ATCC 15697 (BiGalK) was cloned and over-expressed with a yield of over 80 mg/L cell cultures.

The biological interconversion of galactose and glucose takes place only by way of the Leloir pathway and requires the three enzymes galactokinase, galactose-1-P uridylyltransferase, and UDP-galactose 4-epimerase. The only biological importance of these enzymes appears to be to provide for
