Overview
Pathophysiology
- Galactose is an important metabolite of the human body both for neonatal and adult health, playing a vital role in systemic and cognitive development. [1]
Physiology
Galactose is metabolised in the body through the Leloir pathway. [2]
- It begins with conversion of B-D-galactose to A-D-galactose
- A-D-galactose is then converted to galactose-1-phosphate by the enzyme galactokinase with utilisation of 1 molecule of ATP
- Galactose-1-phosphate combines with UDP-glucose to form UDP-galactose and the metabolically more useful glucose-1-phosphate with the help of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase.
- UDP-Galactose can undergo isomerisation in a reversible manner into UDP-glucose.
