Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase

Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (or GALT) is an enzyme responsible for converting ingested galactose to glucose.

More specifically, it creates UDP-galactose and glucose 1-phosphate from UDP-glucose and galactose 1-phosphate.

Clinical significance
Deficiency of GALT causes classic galactosemia.
