Human Galactokinase, GALK1 ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
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.

Product Notes
The Human GALK1 galk1 (Catalog #AAA9322992) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9322992 ELISA Kit recognizes Human GALK1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "galactokinase 1, ELISA Kit" 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.Precautions
