ENZYME

ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.22

Accepted Name
lactose synthase
Alternative Name(s)
N-acetyllactosamine synthase
UDP-galactose--glucose galactosyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
D-glucose + UDP-alpha-D-galactose <=> H(+) + lactose + UDP
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is a complex of 2 proteins A and B.
  • In the absence of the B protein (alpha-lactalbumin) the enzyme catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to N-acetylglucosamine (cf. EC 2.4.1.90).
