Galactose can enter into Glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
Galactokinase
A
Galactokinase catalyzes transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP to galactose.
2
Q
Galactose 1-phosphate Uridyltransferase (UDP)
A
Galactose 1-phosphate exchanges with the glucose 1-phosphate moeity of UDP glucose by clevage of pyrophosphate bond of UDP-glucose.
Glucose 1-phosphate and UDP galactose are formed.
3
Q
UDP-glucose 4-epimerase
A
UDP galactose is recycled back to UDP glucose by the action of UDP-glucose 4 epimerase
4
Q
Phosphoglucomutase
A
Catalyzes the conversion of galactose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate
