Record overview

MGPD IDMGP006512
Gene ID130589
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namegalactose mutarotase (aldose 1-epimerase)
Gene Symbol GALM
SynonymsGLAT; IBD1; BLOCK25; HEL-S-63p;
Alternate namesaldose 1-epimerase; epididymis secretory sperm binding protein Li 63p; galactomutarotase; galactose enzyme activator;
Chromosome2
Map Location2p22.1
EC Number5.1.3.3
SummaryThis gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the epimerization of hexose sugars such as glucose and galactose. The encoded protein is expressed in the cytoplasm and has a preference for galactose. The encoded protein may be required for normal galactose metabolism by maintaining the equilibrium of alpha and beta anomers of galactose.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
