Galactose mutarotase (GALM; aldose 1-epimerase)
What it does, reaction by reaction
Galactose Metabolism Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol
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.
