Uridine diphosphate galactose (UDP-galactose) is an intermediate in the production of polysaccharides.^[1] It is important in nucleotide sugars metabolism, and is the substrate for the transferase B4GALT5.

Sugar metabolism

UDP-Galactose is especially relevant in glycolysis. It is derived from galactose an epimer of glucose, and via the Leloir pathway, it is used be used as a precursor for the metabolism of glucose into pyruvate.^[2] When lactose is hydrolyzed, D-Galactose enters the liver via the bloodstream. There, galactokinase phosphorylates it to galactose-1-phosphate using ATP. This compound then engages in a "ping-pong" reaction with UDP-Glucose, catalyzed by uridylyltransferase, yielding glucose-1-phosphate and UDP-Galactose. This glucose-1-phosphate feeds into glycolysis, while UDP-Galactose undergoes epimerization to regenerate UDP-Glucose.^[3]
