extremely high levels of galactitol found in the latter. Classic galactosemia patients typically exhibit urinary galactitol levels of only 98 to 800 mmol/mol...

In enzymology, a galactitol-1-phosphate 5-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.251) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction galactitol-1-phosphate + NAD+...

In enzymology, a galactitol 2-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction galactitol + NAD+ ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons...

The PTS Galactitol (Gat) Family (TC# 4.A.5) is part of the PTS-AG superfamily. The biochemistry of this family is poorly defined. The only well-characterized...

Fucitol, also known as L-fucitol, 1-deoxy-L-galactitol, and (2R,3S,4R,5S)-hexane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol, is a sugar alcohol derived from fucoidan which is found...
