| Official Name |
| Lactose synthase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| N-acetyllactosamine synthase. |
| UDP-galactose--glucose galactosyltransferase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| UDP-galactose + D-glucose <=> UDP + lactose |
| Comment(s) |
- The enzyme is a complex of 2 proteins A and B.
- In the absence of the B protein (alpha-lactalbumin) the enzyme
catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to
N-acetylglucosamine (cf. EC 2.4.1.90).
