Inositol 3-Alpha-Galactosyltransferase

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In enzymology, a Inositol 3-Alpha-Galactosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell.
