| Gene Symbol | GALM |
| Entrez Gene ID | 130589 |
| Full Name | galactose mutarotase |
| Synonyms | BLOCK25,GLAT,HEL-S-63p,IBD1 |
| General protein information |
|
| Gene Type | protein-coding |
| Organism | Homo sapiens(human) |
| Genome | |
| Summary | This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the epimerization of hexose sugars such as glucose and galactose. The encoded protein is expressed in the cytoplasm and has a preference for galactose. The encoded protein may be required for normal galactose metabolism by maintaining the equilibrium of alpha and beta anomers of galactose.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]. |
