A colorimetric microassay for the simultaneous quantitative determination of galactose (Gal) and galactose-l-phosphate (Gall-P) in dried blood spots is described. An enzymatic reaction involving alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) and galactose dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.48) produces NADH, which is coupl

## Abstract The uptake and catabolism of galactose by the yeast __Saccharomyces cerevisiae__ is much lower than for glucose and fructose, and in applications of this yeast for utilization of complex substrates that contain galactose, for example, lignocellulose and raffinose, this causes prolonged
The Duarte allele (D) is a missense mutation (N314D) that produces a characteristic isoform and partial impairment of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) in human erythrocytes, fibroblasts, and transformed lymphoblasts. The position of this amino acid is distant, however, from presumptive
Impaired galactose metabolism has been proposed as a risk factor for ovarian cancer and endometriosis, which is a putative precursor of endometrioid and clear cell histological sub-types of ovarian cancer. The prevalence of the most common galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase gene mutations, Q18
## Abstract An improved isoelectric focusing (IEF) technique has been developed and used to detect the erythrocyte galactoseβ1βphosphate uridyl transferase isoenzymes. The normal enzyme was resolved by IEF in four bands with isoelectric points (pI) between 5.80 and 6.08. Numerous samples, classifie
