Synonyms: Anti-Gal-1-P uridylyltransferase; Anti-UDP-glucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (also known as GALT) is an enzyme essential for converting ingested galactose to glucose. Deficiency of this gene causes classic galactosemia, an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. It may lead to toxic accumulation of galactose and derived metabolites. Mutation in this gene is ethnic-specific and galactosemia is a heterogeneous disorder at the molecular level.
