Sweet and sour: an update on classic galactosemia
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 325-342, May 2017., 2017 Abstract Classic galactosemia is a rare inherited disorder of galactose metabolism caused by deficient activity of galactose‐1‐phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT), the second enzyme of the Leloir pathway. It presents in the newborn period as a life‐threatening disease, whose clinical picture can be resolved by a galactose‐restricted diet.

Purification and Properties of Hexose 1-Phosphate Uridylyltransferase from Bifidobacterium bifidum
, 1978 Hexose 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.12) was present constitutively in Bifidobacterium bifidum. The enzyme was purified to a homogeneous state from B. bifidum grown on a glucose medium and characterized.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Starch Biosynthesis in the Developing Grain of Hexaploid Wheat
International Journal of Plant Genomics, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 The expression of genes involved in starch synthesis in wheat was analyzed together with the accumulation profiles of soluble sugars, starch, protein, and starch granule distribution in developing caryopses obtained from the same biological materials used for profiling of gene expression using DNA microarrays. Multiple expression patterns were detected
