Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ α-D-Galactose 1-phosphate may be used in Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism research to study the process of UDP-Galactose (UDP-Gal) formation via UDP-glucose:α-D-galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase(s) (EC 2.7.7.12). It may be used to identify and characterize and study the functions of galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase(s)._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 1, 5 g in poly bottle_x000D_ 25, 100, 250 mg in poly bottle_x000D_ 10 mg in glass bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Metabolite intermediate in the interconversion of glucose and galactose.
