Gene information for GALM (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID130589
Official gene symbolGALM
Full namegalactose mutarotase (aldose 1-epimerase)
Aliases,BLOCK25,IBD1,
Gene summaryThis 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.
