Recombinant Human GALE Protein, Myc/DDK-tagged, C13 and N15-labeled

• Cat.No.: GALE-2413H
• Product Overview: GALE MS Standard C13 and N15-labeled recombinant protein (NP_001121093) with a C-terminal MYC/DDK tag, was expressed in HEK293 cells.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: DDK&Myc
• Description: This gene encodes UDP-galactose-4-epimerase which catalyzes two distinct but analogous reactions: the epimerization of UDP-glucose to UDP-galactose, and the epimerization of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine. The bifunctional nature of the enzyme has the important metabolic consequence that mutant cells (or individuals) are dependent not only on exogenous galactose, but also on exogenous N-acetylgalactosamine as a necessary precursor for the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Mutations in this gene result in epimerase-deficiency galactosemia, also referred to as galactosemia type 3, a disease characterized by liver damage, early-onset cataracts, deafness and cognitive disability, with symptoms ranging from mild ('peripheral' form) to severe ('generalized' form). Multiple alternatively spliced transcripts encoding the same protein have been identified.
