UniProtKB description: Galactokinase is a key enzyme in the galactose metabolism where it catalyzes the conversion of alpha-D-galactose to galactose 1-phosphate (PubMed:12106903, PubMed:13495476, PubMed:14144). Can also induce the transcription of the yeast GAL genes in response to the organism being challenged with galactose as the sole source of carbon (PubMed:1317007, PubMed:2656659). It's striking amino acid sequence similarity to GAL3 might explain its GAL3-like induction activity (PubMed:1317007, PubMed:2656659).
