Galactose-1-phosphate Uridylyltransferase
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (or GALT, G1PUT) is an enzyme () responsible for converting ingested galactose to glucose. Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, namely: :UDP-glucose + galactose 1-phosphate \rightleftharpoons glucose 1-phosphate + UDP-galactose The expression of GALT is controlled by the actions of the FOXO3 gene. The absence of this enzyme results in classic galactosemia in humans and can be fatal in the newborn period if lactose is not removed from the diet. The pathophysiology of galactosemia has not been clearly defined. Image:DGalactose Fischer.svg, galactose Image:D-glucose chain (Fischer).svg, glucose Mechanism GALT catalyzes the second reaction of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism through ping pong bi-bi chemical kinetics, kinetics with a double displacement mechanism. This means that the net reaction consists of two reactants and two products (see th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

HMCS Galt (K163)
HMCS ''Galt'' was a of the Royal Canadian Navy that served during the Second World War. She saw action primarily in the Battle of the Atlantic. She was named after the city of Galt, Ontario. Background Flower-class corvettes like ''Galt'' serving with the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War were different from earlier and more traditional sail-driven corvettes. The "corvette" designation was created by the French as a class of small warships; the Royal Navy borrowed the term for a period but discontinued its use in 1877. During the hurried preparations for war in the late 1930s, Winston Churchill reactivated the corvette class, needing a name for smaller ships used in an escort capacity, in this case based on a whaling ship design. The generic name "flower" was used to designate the class of these ships, which – in the Royal Navy – were named after flowering plants. Corvettes commissioned by the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War were named after ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gut-associated Lymphoid Tissue
Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is a component of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) which works in the immune system to protect the body from invasion in the gut. Owing to its physiological function in food absorption, the mucosal surface is thin and acts as a permeable barrier to the interior of the body. Equally, its fragility and permeability creates vulnerability to infection and, in fact, the vast majority of the infectious agents invading the human body use this route. The functional importance of GALT in body's defense relies on its large population of plasma cells, which are antibody producers, whose number exceeds the number of plasma cells in spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow combined. GALT makes up about 70% of the immune system by weight; compromised GALT may significantly affect the strength of the immune system as a whole. Structure The gut-associated lymphoid tissue lies throughout the intestine, covering an area of approximately 260–300 m2. ...
