Galactose metabolism begins with the conversion of galactose into galactose-1-phosphate, catalyzed by the enzyme galactokinase. This phosphorylation step traps galactose inside the cell, making it ready for further metabolic processing. The galactose-1-phosphate is then converted into glucose-1-phosphate by the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, using UDP-glucose as the donor of the uridine monophosphate (UMP) group. This reaction is an essential step that connects galactose metabolism with glucose
