NCBI Description

Galactokinase is a major enzyme for the metabolism of galactose and its deficiency causes congenital cataracts during infancy and presenile cataracts in the adult population. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

GALK1: Major enzyme for galactose metabolism. Defects in GALK1 are the cause of galactosemia II (GALCT2). Galactosemia II is an autosomal recessive deficiency characterized by congenital cataracts during infancy and presenile cataracts in the adult population. The cataracts are secondary to accumulation of galactitol in the lenses. Belongs to the GHMP kinase family. GalK subfamily.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q24

Cellular Component: membrane; cytoplasm; cytosol

Molecular Function: galactokinase activity; galactose binding; ATP binding

Biological Process: galactose catabolic process; carbohydrate metabolic process; carbohydrate phosphorylation; galactitol metabolic process; galactose metabolic process; pathogenesis

Product Notes

The GALK1 galk1 (Catalog #AAA638026) is an Active Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GALK1 galk1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Galactokinase, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
