  2. Alpha-gal syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_syndrome

    Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), also known as alpha-gal allergy or mammalian meat allergy (MMA), [1] is a type of acquired allergy characterized by a delayed onset of symptoms (3–8 hours) after ingesting mammalian meat. The condition results from past exposure to certain tick bites and was first reported in 2002.

  3. Galactose-α-1,3-galactose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactose-α-1,3-galactose

    Galactose-α-1,3-galactose, commonly known as alpha gal and the Galili antigen, is a carbohydrate found in most mammalian cell membranes. It is not found in catarrhines , [ 1 ] including humans, who have lost the glycoprotein alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase ( GGTA1 ) gene.

  4. B4GALT1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B4GALT1

    For the first activity, the enzyme adds galactose to N-acetylglucosamine residues that are either monosaccharides or the nonreducing ends of glycoprotein carbohydrate chains. The second activity is restricted to lactating mammary tissues where the enzyme forms a heterodimer with alpha-lactalbumin to catalyze UDP-galactose + D-glucose <=> UDP ...

    The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:N-acetyllactosaminide 3-alpha-D-galactosyltransferase. Other names in common use include alpha ...

  6. Galactokinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactokinase

    Galactokinase is an enzyme (phosphotransferase) that facilitates the phosphorylation of α-D-galactose to galactose 1-phosphate at the expense of one molecule of ATP. [1] Galactokinase catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway, a metabolic pathway found in most organisms for the catabolism of α-D-galactose to glucose 1-phosphate. [2]

  7. Duarte galactosemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duarte_galactosemia

    For infants with DG who showed elevated galactose metabolites at diagnosis, this test can be used to see if the child's ability to process galactose has improved. [citation needed] For example, to test galactose metabolism, a baseline Gal-1P level is measured while the child is on a galactose-restricted diet.

  8. Lactosylceramide beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase - Wikipedia

    The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:D-galactosyl-1,4-beta-D-glucosyl-R beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphogalactose-lactosylceramide , and beta1->3-galactosyltransferase .

  9. α-Galactosidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-Galactosidase

    α-Galactosidase ( EC 3.2.1.22, α-GAL, α-GAL A; systematic name α-D-galactoside galactohydrolase) is a glycoside hydrolase enzyme that catalyses the following reaction: [1] Hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing α- D -galactose residues in α- D -galactosides, including galactose oligosaccharides, galactomannans and galactolipids
