Galactose kinase (GALK1), also often designated galactokinase, is important in the first step of the galactose metabolism pathway.
GALK1, which belongs to the GHMP kinase family of proteins, is a crucial enzyme for galactose metabolism.
Defects in the gene encoding for galactose kinase, GALK1, can cause galactosemia II, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital cataracts during infancy, often within the first two weeks of life.
In the adult population it can cause presenile cataracts that are secondary to accumulation of galactitol in the lens of the eye.
