galactose diabetes |
<biochemistry> A rare genetic (autosomal recessive) disorder characterised by the inability a defect in the enzyme (galactose 1 phosphate uridyl transferase) that converts galactose 1 phosphate into glucose 1 phosphate is absent. Excess galactose 1 phosphate accumulates in the blood and a variety of problems result. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (27 Sep 1997) |
galactose oxidase |
<enzyme> An enzyme that oxidises galactose in the presence of molecular oxygen to d-galacto-hexodialdose. It is a copper protein. Chemical name: D-Galactose:oxygen 6-oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.3.9 (12 Dec 1998) |
galactose permease |
<chemical> (26 Jun 1999) |
galactose tolerance test |
A liver function test, based on the ability of the liver to convert galactose to glycogen, measured by the rate of excretion of galactose following ingestion or intravenous injection of a known amount; normally, less than 3 g appear in the urine within 5 hours after the ingestion of 40 g. (05 Mar 2000) |
galactose-1-phosphatase |
<enzyme> From rat brain; requires mg for activity; phosphate is potent inhibitor Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
galactose-1-phosphate |
A phosphorylated derivative of galactose that is key in galactose metabolism; accumulates in certain types of galactosaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase |
<enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing the reaction of UTP and alpha-d-galactose 1-phosphate to form UDPgalactose and pyrophosphate, the second and most important step in the metabolism of d-galactose; a deficiency of this enzyme results in an accumulation of galactose, galactose-1-phosphate, and galactitol. (05 Mar 2000) |
galactose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase |
<enzyme> Possibly a ketoaldose, phosphorylated at primary alcoholic group; found in goat liver cytoplasm, requires nad, has high substrate specificity Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |

galactose-6-sulfatase |
<enzyme> An enzyme that eliminates sulfur from the galactose-6-sulfate residues of certain mucopolysaccharides, producing 3,6-anhydrogalactose residues; it is absent in Morquio's syndrome type A. Synonym: galactose-6-sulfurase. (05 Mar 2000) |

galactosemia
|
Galactosemia is a rare genetic metabolic disorder which affects an individual's ability to properly digest the sugar galactose. Lactose in food (such as dairy products) is broken down by the body into glucose and galactose. Normally, galactose is then converted into glucose by the enzyme GALT (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase). ...
