SYNONYMS
Aldose 1-epimerase, BLOCK25, IBD1, EC=5.1.3.3, GALM, galactose mutarotase.
INTRODUCTION
GALM is a main enzyme of carbohydrate metabolism catalysing the translation of beta-D-galactose to alpha-D-galactose. GALM is needed for normal galactose metabolism by preserveing the equilibrium of alpha and beta anomers of galactose. GALM is required for the production of complex oligosaccharides.
DESCRIPTION
GALM Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 362 amino acids (1-342 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 39.9 kDa. The GALM is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
