Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (or GALT) is an enzyme (EC 2.7.7.12) responsible for converting ingested galactose to glucose.Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism namely:UDP-glucose + galactose 1-phosphate glucose 1-phosphate + UDP-galactoseThe expression of GALT is controlled by the actions of the FOXO3 gene.
