Galactokinase/GALK1, Human (His)

Galactokinase (GALK1) protein facilitates the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to alpha-D-galactose, playing a pivotal role in the initial and committed step of galactose catabolism. Through this enzymatic activity, GALK1 initiates the metabolic pathway responsible for breaking down galactose, contributing to its utilization within cellular processes. Galactokinase/GALK1 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived Galactokinase/GALK1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-6*His labeled tag.
