    Summary
    Enables galactokinase activity. Acts upstream of or within galactitol metabolic process and glycolytic process from galactose. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and galactokinase deficiency. Orthologous to human GALK1 (galactokinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
