Listen "Flies, plants and classic galactosemia"
Episode Synopsis
Professor Judy Fridovich-Keil returns to the podcast to explain her work to illustrate whether the phenotype of galactosemia is related to GALT activity or galactose metabolism. Her group have been working with plant enzymes in fruit flies.
Restoring galactose metabolism without restoring GALT rescues both compromised survival in larvae and an adult climbing deficit in a GALT-null D. melanogaster model of classic galactosemia
