| galactoscope | <instrument> An instrument for judging of the richness and purity of milk by the translucency of a thin layer. Synonym: lactoscope. Origin: Galacto-+ G. Skopeo, to examine (05 Mar 2000) |
| galactose | <biochemistry> Hexose identical to glucose except that orientation of H and OH on carbon 4 are exchanged. A component of cerebrosides and gangliosides, glycoproteins. Lactose, the disaccharide of milk, consists of galactose joined to glucose by a _(1-4) glycosidic link. (18 Nov 1997) |
| galactose 3-O-sulfotransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses transfer of sulfate from adenosine 3'-phosphosulfate to methyl galactosides or terminal n-acetyllactosamine-containing carbohydrate chains Registry number: EC 2.8.2.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| galactose binding protein | <protein> A bacterial periplasmic protein, most studied in E. Coli, that acts both as a sensory element in the detection of galactose as a chemotactic signal and in the uptake of the sugar. (18 Nov 1997) |
| galactose cataract | A neonatal cataract associated with intralenticular accumulation of galactose alcohol. See: galactosaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galactose dehydrogenases | <enzyme> D-galactose:NAD(p)+ 1-oxidoreductases. Catalyses the oxidation of d-galactose in the presence of NAD+ or NADP+ to d-galactono-gamma-lactone and NADH or NADPH. Registry number: EC 1.1.1. (12 Dec 1998) |
| galactose diabetes | <biochemistry> A rare genetic (autosomal recessive) disorder characterised by the inability a defect in the enzyme (galactose 1 phosphate uridyl transferase) that converts galactose 1 phosphate into glucose 1 phosphate is absent. Excess galactose 1 phosphate accumulates in the blood and a variety of problems result. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (27 Sep 1997) |
| galactose oxidase | <enzyme> An enzyme that oxidises galactose in the presence of molecular oxygen to d-galacto-hexodialdose. It is a copper protein. Chemical name: D-Galactose:oxygen 6-oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.3.9 (12 Dec 1998) |
| galactose permease | <chemical> (26 Jun 1999) |
| galactose tolerance test | A liver function test, based on the ability of the liver to convert galactose to glycogen, measured by the rate of excretion of galactose following ingestion or intravenous injection of a known amount; normally, less than 3 g appear in the urine within 5 hours after the ingestion of 40 g. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galactose-1-phosphatase | <enzyme> From rat brain; requires mg for activity; phosphate is potent inhibitor Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| galactose-1-phosphate | A phosphorylated derivative of galactose that is key in galactose metabolism; accumulates in certain types of galactosaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing the reaction of UTP and alpha-d-galactose 1-phosphate to form UDPgalactose and pyrophosphate, the second and most important step in the metabolism of d-galactose; a deficiency of this enzyme results in an accumulation of galactose, galactose-1-phosphate, and galactitol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galactose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Possibly a ketoaldose, phosphorylated at primary alcoholic group; found in goat liver cytoplasm, requires nad, has high substrate specificity Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |

| galactosemia |
Galactosemia is a disorder that affects how the body processes certain sugars (sugar metabolism). This condition results when the body is not able to process the sugar galactose, which is found in many foods. Galactose also exists as part of another sugar, lactose, found in all dairy products. Liver dysfunction, cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye), speech problems, and mental impairment are characteristic of this condition if not treated.
