| galactosylceramide sulfotransferase | <enzyme> Models for the study of inborn errors of metabolism Registry number: EC 2.8.2.11 Synonym: cerebroside sulfotransferase, galactocerebroside sulfotransferase, glycosphingolipid sulfotransferase, galcst, glycolipid sulfotransferase, galcer-st, galactosylceramide sulphotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |

| galactosylceramides | Cerebrosides which contain as their polar head group a galactose moiety bound in glycosidic linkage to the hydroxyl group of ceramide. Their accumulation in tissue, due to a defect in beta-galactosidase, is the cause of galactosylceramide lipidosis or globoid cell leukodystrophy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| galactosyltransferases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of galactose from a nucleoside diphosphate galactose to an acceptor molecule which is frequently another carbohydrate. Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| galactosylxylosylprotein 3-beta-galactosyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the reaction of udpgalactose and 4-beta-d-(galactosyl-o-beta-d-xylosylprotein to yield udp and 3-beta-d-galactosyl-o-beta-d-xylosylprotein Registry number: EC 2.4.1.134 Synonym: galactosyltransferase II, (26 Jun 1999) |
| galactotherapy | Treatment of disease by means of an exclusive or nearly exclusive milk diet. Synonym: lactotherapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galacturonan | A polysaccharide that yields galacturonic acid on hydrolysis; a constituent of some pectins. (05 Mar 2000) |
