Background Information

GALM, also named as Aldose 1-epimerase, belongs to the aldose epimerase family. GALM is a mutarotase that catalyzes the interconversion of beta-D-galactose and alpha-D-galactose during galactose metabolism. GALM is involved in the maintenance of the equilibrium between the beta- and alpha- anomers of galactose, therefore ensuring a sufficient supply of the alpha-anomer for GALK1. Galm is also active on D-glucose, but its preference for galactose is higher than that of glucose. The calculated molecular weight of GALM is 38 kDa.
