[主題詞] Lactose Synthase
[英文釋義] An enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDPgalactose to glucose,forming lactose. The enzyme is a complex of the enzyme N-ACETYLLACTOSAMINE SYNTHASE and alpha-lactalbumin; the latter protein is present in lactating mammary gland cells where it alters the usual specificity of the former to make lactose synthesis the preferred reaction.
