Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, an inositol 3-alpha-galactosyltransferase (Шаблон:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- UDP-galactose + myo-inositol <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> UDP + O-alpha-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-1D-myo-inositol
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-galactose and myo-inositol, whereas its two products are UDP and [[O-alpha-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-1D-myo-inositol]].
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:myo-inositol 3-alpha-D-galactosyltransferase. Other names in common use include UDP-D-galactose:inositol galactosyltransferase, UDP-galactose:myo-inositol 1-alpha-D-galactosyltransferase, UDPgalactose:myo-inositol 1-alpha-D-galactosyltransferase, galactinol synthase, inositol 1-alpha-galactosyltransferase, and uridine diphosphogalactose-inositol galactosyltransferase. This enzyme participates in galactose metabolism.
