Carbohydrate metabolism (module 32) contained proteins such as GALK1, SORD, and DCXR. Galactokinase 1 (GALK1) is an enzyme (phosphotransferase) that facilitates the phosphorylation of α-D-galactose to galactose 1-phosphate at the expense of one molecule of ATP. Sorbitol dehydrogenase (SORD) is an enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism converting sorbitol, the sugar alcohol form of glucose, into fructose [70]. Dicarbonyl/L-xylulose reductase (DCXR) is involved in carbohydrate metabolism and glucose metabolism which is a highly conserved and phylogenetically widespread enzyme converting L-xylulose into xylitol [71]. This shows that proteins in carbohydrate metabolism make contribution to provide energy for the body by participating in carbohydrate metabolism.","tracks":[]}
