Galactose is a monosaccharide. When combined with glucose (another monosaccharide) through a condensation reaction, the result is a disaccharide called lactose. The hydrolysis of lactose to glucose and galactose is catalyzed by the enzymes lactase and β-galactosidase.
1 Αυγ 2021 · In this review, we aim to draw a comprehensive overview of the biological functions of galactose in human cells, including its metabolism and its role in glycosylation, and to provide a systematic description of all known congenital metabolic disorders resulting from alterations of its homeostasis.
24 Φεβ 2022 · Biological importance/functions . Galactose is one of the most common monosaccharides and plays various biological roles. For instance, it acts as an alternative to glucose when the latter is insufficient to the metabolic demands of an organism. It can enter glycolysis to synthesize energy.
Galactose is more commonly found in the disaccharide, lactose or milk sugar. It is found as the monosaccharide in peas. Galactose is classified as a monosaccharide, an aldose, a hexose, and is a reducing sugar.
24 Μαΐ 2012 · By studying the role of specific seterochemical features of galactose (Gal), we have improved our understanding about the normal physiology and diseases in human bodies. According to the universal biological findings, cellular bodies are covered with an intense coating of glycans.
Galactose is crucial for human metabolism, with an established role in energy delivery and galactosylation of complex molecules, and evidence for other roles is emerging.
1 Ιαν 2014 · Galactose (from the Greek galakt which means milk), a C4 epimer of glucose, is a hexose widely used to build up biologically functional glycoconjugates in living organisms. When combined with...
