Reaction: GALK1 phosphorylates Gal to Gal1P
- in pathway: Galactose catabolism
Cytosolic galactokinase (GALK1) catalyses the reaction of ATP and D-galactose to form ADP and D-galactose 1-phosphate (Ai at al. 1995).
Reaction - small molecule participants:
Gal1P [cytosol]
ADP [cytosol]
ATP [cytosol]
Gal [cytosol]
