Description
Galactose 1-phosphate is an intermediate in the galactose metabolism and nucleotide sugars metabolism pathways.A substrate for uridyltransferase that catalyzes the reaction of UDP-glucose with galactose-1-phosphate to form glucose-1-phosphate and UDP-galactose. Higher levels of galactose-1-phosphate are reported in patients with galactosemia.Free of glucose-1-phosphate and related sugar nucleotides that tend to contaminate isolated material
