UTP-Hexose-1-Phosphate Uridylyltransferase

Known as: Galactose 1 phosphate uridyl transferase, UDP Galactose Pyrophosphorylase, Uridyltransferase, Galactose-1-Phosphate 
An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of UDPgalactose from UTP and galactose-1-phosphate. It is present in low levels in fetal and infant liver, but…
