En aldohexos som uppträder naturligt i D-form i laktos, cerebrosider, gangliosider och mukoproteiner. Brist på galaktosyl-1-fosfaturidyltransferas ger upphov till felaktig galaktosomsättning, galaktosemi, som leder till höjda halter av galaktos i blodet.
An aldohexose that occurs naturally in the D-form in lactose, cerebrosides, gangliosides, and mucoproteins. Deficiency of galactosyl-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALACTOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYL-TRANSFERASE DEFICIENCY DISEASE) causes an error in galactose metabolism called GALACTOSEMIA, resulting in elevations of galactose in the blood.
