galactose-6-sulfurase |
<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) |

galactose-diphosphoglycosyl carrier lipid synthetase |
<enzyme> Catalyses synthesis of gcl-pp-gal from udp gal and p-gcl; also catalyses exchange between the uridylyl moiety of udpgal and ump Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
galactosemia |
<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) |
galactosephosphates |
Phosphoric acid esters of galactose. (12 Dec 1998) |
|
galactosemia
|
A buildup of galactose in the blood. This is caused by lack of the enzymes needed to break down galactose into glucose.

galactosemia
|
Galactosemia is a disorder that affects how the body processes certain sugars (sugar metabolism). This condition results when the body is not able to process the sugar galactose, which is found in many foods. Galactose also exists as part of another sugar, lactose, found in all dairy products. Liver dysfunction, cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye), speech problems, and mental impairment are characteristic of this condition if not treated.
