Query author contributions in Reactome
Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.
If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

| text | Cytosolic galactokinase (GALK1) catalyses the first step in the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism. GALK1 catalyses the phosphorylation of D-galactose (Gal) to form D-galactose 1-phosphate (Gal1P). Defects in GALK1 can cause Galactosemia II (GALCT2; MIM:230200), an autosomal recessive deficiency characterised by congenital cataracts during infancy and presenile cataracts in the adult population. Galactitol accumulation in the lens is the cause of these cataracts. Mutations causing GALCT2 include V32M, E80*, P28T, Q382* and R256W (Stambolian et al. 1995, Kalaydjieva et al. 1999, Kolosha et al 2000, Bayarchimeg et al. 2012). There is a wide spectrum of severity and age of onset. However, beyond cataract formation, no long-term complications have been documented (Bosch et al. 2002, Timson & Reece 2003). |
