β¦ Synopsis
Galactosyltransferase catalyzes transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to glucose or N-acetylglucosamine with resultant formation of galactosides and UDP. In this new assay galactosyltransferase activity is measured by determining UDP by isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography on an amino-bonded column monitored spectrophotometrically. Concurrently, unreacted UDP-galactose and breakdown products arising from UDP-galactose (UMP and uridine) are also determined. The new technique does not require radioactive substrates, permits usage of saturating concentrations of UDP-galactose, and provides monitoring of side reactions.
