About Galk1

Summary

Enables ATP binding activity; Galactokinase activity; and galactose binding activity. Involved in carbohydrate phosphorylation and galactose metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and Galactokinase deficiency. Orthologous to human GALK1 (Galactokinase 1).
