Official Full Name: galactose mutarotase
Also known as: GLAT; IBD1; GALAC4; BLOCK25; HEL-S-63p
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.
