    The key enzyme in galactose metabolism, UDP-galactose-4-epimerase, affects cell-wall integrity and morphology in Candida albicans even in the absence of galactose (2007), Fungal Genet. Biol., 44, 563-574.

Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine The absence of CaGAL10 alone does not significantly reduce virulence in mouse model studies, but since it leads to increased drug sensitivity, it can be explored as a potential drug target in combination with other candidacidal drugs. Thus the UDP-galactose-4-epimerase plays an important role in the biology of the human pathogen, Candida albicans, like in the case of several other pathogens. Candida albicans
