Galactose Metabolism Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol

step 2 Reversible

Alpha-D-galactose ↔ beta-D-galactose

Converts Alpha-D-galactose into beta-D-galactose

Notes

Galactose mutarotase (aldose 1-epimerase; GALM) interconverts galactose anomers so that alpha-D-galactose is available for galactokinase. No ATP or redox cofactor is required.
