Description

GDP-L-galactose is a sugar molecule that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of ascorbate. GDP-L-galactose is synthesized from GDP-D-mannose and GDP-L-glucose by the enzyme GDP-mannose 4,6 dehydratase. The enzyme GDP-L-galactose dehydrogenase then converts GDP-L-galactose to ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Ascorbate is essential for many biological functions such as synthesis of collagen and neurotransmitters, regulation of gene expression, and protection against oxidative stress. The biosynthesis of ascorbate occurs in a light dependent reaction involving L -galactono 1,4 diphosphate synthase and UDP glucose 6 phosphate uridylyl transferase. This process is regulated by transcriptional factors such as MYB and NAC2/NAC4.
