Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-galactose is relevant in glycolysis. UDP-galactose is the activated form of Gal, a crucial monosaccharide building block for human milk oligosaccharide (HMO). [2] The activated form of galactose (Gal) serves as a donor molecule involved in catalyzing the conversion of UDP-galactose to UDP-glucose.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:glycoprotein-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine 3-beta-D-galactosyltransferase. This enzyme is also called uridine diphosphogalactose-mucin beta-(1->3)-galactosyltransferase. This enzyme participates in O-glycan biosynthesis and glycan structures - biosynthesis 1.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine galactose phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphogalactose-uridine diphosphoacetylglucosamine galactose-1-phosphotransferase , galactose-1-phosphotransferase , and galactosyl phosphotransferase .
GalE encodes for an epimerase that converts UDP-glucose into UDP-galactose. This is required for the formation of UDP-galactose for cell wall biosynthesis , in particular the cell wall component lipopolysaccharide, even when cells are not using galactose as a carbon/energy source. [ 4 ]
The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-alpha-D-galactosyltransferase. Other names in common use include floridoside-phosphate synthase , UDP-galactose:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate-2-D-galactosyl transferase , FPS , UDP-galactose, sn-3-glycerol phosphate:1->2' galactosyltransferase , floridoside phosphate ...
The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->3)-beta-D-galactosyl- (1->4)-beta-D-glucosylceramide 3-beta-D-galactosyltransferase.
Uridine diphosphate, abbreviated UDP, is an organic compound. It is an ester of pyrophosphoric acid with the nucleoside uridine . UDP consists of the pyrophosphate group , the pentose sugar ribose , and the nucleobase uracil .
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 .
