Homo sapiens

Also known as GLAT; IBD1; GALAC4; BLOCK25; HEL-S-63p

Gene ID: 130589 | Gene type: protein coding

About GALM

Cytogenetic location: 2p22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:38,666,114-38,734,765 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 208 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 43.9), duodenum (RPKM 30.0) and 20 other tissues.

Summary

This 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]
