GALK1, also often designated galactokinase, is important in the first step of the galactose metabolism pathway. (ATP + D-galactose = ADP + alpha-D-galactose 1-phosphate) Defects in GALK1 are the cause of galactosemia II. It is an autosomal recessive deficiency characterized by congenital cataracts during infancy and presenile cataracts in the adult population. The cataracts are secondary to accumulation of galactitol in the lenses. Source: Recombinant human GALK1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli.
