Descriptor galactosa
Scope note: Aldohexosa que se presenta naturalmente en la forma D en la lactosa, cerebrósidos, gangliósidos, y mucoproteínas. La deficiencia de galactosil-1-fosfouridiltransferasa (ENFERMEDAD POR DEFICIENCIA DE GALACTOSA-1-FOSFOURIDIL-TRANSFERASA) causa un error del metabolismo de la galactosa denominado GALACTOSEMIA, que se sigue de elevación de la concentración de galactosa en la sangre.

Scope note: An aldohexose that occurs naturally in the D-form in lactose, cerebrosides, gangliosides, and mucoproteins. Deficiency of galactosyl-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALACTOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYL-TRANSFERASE DEFICIENCY DISEASE) causes an error in galactose metabolism called GALACTOSEMIA, resulting in elevations of galactose in the blood.
