Gene context of Udpgal

  • The modulation of UDPglucose and UDPgalactose concentrations, occurring after the presentation of galactose to cells, as a result of the combined actions of GALT and UDPgalactose-4-epimerase, may be important in determining rates of synthesis of complex glycoconjugates [21].
  • The distribution and partial characterization of UDPgalactose: N-acetylgalactosamine mucin galactosyltransferase activity from rat small intestine and its sensitivity to Zn2+ [22].
  • These results demonstrate that the S. cerevisiae UDPgalactose 4-epimerase is a bifunctional enzyme with aldose 1-epimerase activity [23].
  • Impairment of the human enzyme UDPgalactose 4-epimerase (hGALE) results in epimerase-deficiency galactosaemia, an inborn error of metabolism with variable biochemical presentation and clinical outcomes reported to range from benign to severe [24].
  • The levels of UDPglucose and UDPgalactose (UDPGal) have been measured in erythrocytes of seven patients with galactokinase deficiency [25].
