Associations of Galk1 with chemical compounds

  • As part of a series of studies to assess the regulation of hepatic galactose-metabolizing enzymes, galactokinase, galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, and UDPgalactose-4-epimerase, the effect of feeding a high galactose-containing diet to normal adult and pregnant female rats was examined [10].
  • Comparison of the activities of the three liver enzymes in suckling tammar wallabies with those in suckling rats showed no difference between the two species in regard to galactokinase and uridylyl transferase, but the UDPglucose 4-epimerase activity in tammar wallabies was approximately double than found in rats [11].
  • The specific activities of the galactose-metabolizing enzymes, galactokinase (EC 2.7.1.6), galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.12), and UDPgalactose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2), in suckling-rat livers perfused for 90 min with 1 and 4 mM galactose fluctuate significantly with a different pattern of change for each enzyme [12].
