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.
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.
Here's everything you need to know about alpha-gal syndrome, ... Between 2017 and 2021, the number of positive test results for alpha-gal syndrome increased annually, according to the CDC study. ...
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
From 2010 to 2022, more than 110,000 suspected cases of alpha-gal syndrome were identified, a syndrome triggered by tick bites. On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ...
The lack of alpha-galactosidase leads to Fabry disease. A deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A (a-GAL A, encoded by GLA ) due to mutation causes a glycolipid known as globotriaosylceramide (abbreviated as Gb3, GL-3, or ceramide trihexoside) to accumulate within the blood vessels , other tissues, and organs.

The galactosidases are categorized as either alpha or beta, according to the category of glycoside they hydrolyze. The enzyme corresponding to an alpha-galactoside is called alpha-galactosidase ; it catalyzes the hydrolysis of substrates that contain α-galactosidic residues , such as glycosphingolipids or glycoproteins .
