Human GALK1/Galactokinase Recombinant Protein

Galactokinase belongs to the GHMP kinase family and GalK subfamily. Galactokinase is more important to the galactose metabolism pathway. It modifies galactose to create a similar molecule called Galactose-1-Phosphate.Thus; a series of additional steps converts Galactose-1-Phosphate to another simple sugar Glucose; which is the main energy source for most cells. Galactokinase deficiency results in Galactosemia II; 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.
