Improved technique for electrophoresis of human galactose-1-p uridyl transferase (EC 2.7.7.12). 1977

M C Sparkes, and M Crist, and R S Sparkes

A newly developed electrophoretic technique for human galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase confirms the multiple band patterns for the Duarte and Los Angeles variants. This represents the first confirmation for the Los Angeles variant. The observed frequencies of N, D, and LA types are similar to earlier reports for these variants.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007527	Isoenzymes	Structurally related forms of an enzyme. Each isoenzyme has the same mechanism and classification, but differs in its chemical, physical, or immunological characteristics.	Alloenzyme,Allozyme,Isoenzyme,Isozyme,Isozymes,Alloenzymes,Allozymes
D009713	Nucleotidyltransferases	A class of enzymes that transfers nucleotidyl residues. EC 2.7.7.	Nucleotidyltransferase
D004592	Electrophoresis, Starch Gel	Electrophoresis in which a starch gel (a mixture of amylose and amylopectin) is used as the diffusion medium.	Starch Gel Electrophoresis
D005693	Galactosemias	A group of inherited enzyme deficiencies which feature elevations of GALACTOSE in the blood. This condition may be associated with deficiencies of GALACTOKINASE; UDPGLUCOSE-HEXOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYLYLTRANSFERASE; or UDPGLUCOSE 4-EPIMERASE. The classic form is caused by UDPglucose-Hexose-1-Phosphate Uridylyltransferase deficiency, and presents in infancy with FAILURE TO THRIVE; VOMITING; and INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION. Affected individuals also may develop MENTAL RETARDATION; JAUNDICE; hepatosplenomegaly; ovarian failure (PRIMARY OVARIAN INSUFFICIENCY); and cataracts.

D005694	UTP-Hexose-1-Phosphate Uridylyltransferase	An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of UDPgalactose from UTP and galactose-1-phosphate. It is present in low levels in fetal and infant liver, but increases with age, thereby enabling galactosemic infants who survive to develop the capacity to metabolize galactose. EC 2.7.7.10.
