In enzymology a procollagen galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.50) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-galactose + procollagen 5-hydroxy-L-lysine UDP + procollagen 5-(D-galactosyloxy)-L-lysineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-galactose and procollagen 5-hydroxy-L-lysine whereas its two products are UDP and procollagen 5-(D-galactosyloxy)-L-lysine.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
