Galactose

Galactose

Galactose is a monosaccharide sugar. Its biological role is energetic and is found as a component of the lactose disaccharide that exists in milk. It is obtained by the hydrolysis of lactose. Galactose is transformed directly into glucose by a relatively simple process. First, galactose-1-phosphate is phosphorylated by galactose kinase, which then reacts with UDP-Glucose, resulting in UDP-galactose and glucose-1-phosphate. This reaction is catalyzed by uridyl glucose-1-phosphate transferase. Subsequently, UDP-Galactose is isomerized to UDP-Glucose by the 4-epimerase of UDP-Galactose. UDP Glucose is then converted to glucose-1-phosphate. Galactose is important in the synthesis of lactose in the lactating mammary gland, because in this occurs a condensation between glucose and UDP-Galactose, causing lactose, in a reaction catalyzed by the lactose synthase. Galactose is also an important constituent of glycolipids, proteoglycans and glycoproteins. Galactose is not as sweet as glucose. According to Bobbio \u0026 amp; Bobbio, the average solubility of galactose at 20 ° C is 50g / 100g of water. Galactose é um açúcar monossacarídeo. Seu papel biológico é energético e é encontrado como componente do dissacarídeo lactose que existe no leite. É obtido pela hidrólise da lactose. A galactose é transformada directamente em glicose por um processo relativamente simples. Primeiro, é fosforilada a galactose-1-fosfato por acção da cínase da galactose, composto que, posteriormente, reage com a UDP-Glicose, originando UDP-galactose e glicose-1-fosfato. Esta reacção é catalisada pela transférase da glicose-1-fosfato uridil. Posteriormente, a UDP-Galactose é isomerizada a UDP-Glicose pela 4-epimérase da UDP-Galactose. A UDP Glicose é transformada depois em glicose-1-fosfato. A galactose é importante na síntese de lactose na glândula mamária em lactação, pois nesta ocorre uma condensação entre a glicose e a UDP-Galactose, originando lactose, numa reacção catalisada pela síntase da lactose. A galactose é, também, um constituinte importante dos glicolípidos, dos proteoglicanos e das glicoproteínas. A galactose não é tão doce como a glicose. Segundo Bobbio & Bobbio, a solubilidade média da galactose a 20 ºC é 50g/100g de água.
