Galactokinase
Active
Description
Galactokinase (EC 2.7.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes reversibly the formation of galactose 1-phosphate and ADP from ATP and D-galactose. Galactokinase deficiency is the second most common cause of galactosemia and is associated with milder illness than the classic form, which is caused by galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase deficiency. The major manifestation of galactokinase deficiency (also called galactosemia type II) is bilateral juvenile cataracts, which may be partially or completely prevented with dietary lactose restriction.
