Metabolite Identification
Common Namebeta-Lactose
Descriptionbeta-Lactose, also known as galb1-4GLCB or b-D-lactose, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-glycosyl compounds. These are glycoside in which a sugar group is bonded through one carbon to another group via a O-glycosidic bond. beta-Lactose is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as baby food, dried milk, and whey and in a lower concentration in toffee, domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica), and liquorice. beta-Lactose has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as atlantic halibuts (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), snails (Gastropoda), oats (Avena sativa), garfishes (Belone belone), and oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). This could make beta-lactose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on beta-Lactose.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in hydrolase activity, hydrolyzing O-glycosyl compounds
Specific function:
LPH splits lactose in the small intestine.
Gene Name:
LCT
Uniprot ID:

Reactions
beta-Lactose + Water → beta-D-Galactose + D-Glucosedetails
beta-Lactose + Water → alpha-D-Glucose + beta-D-Galactosedetails
General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring glycosyl groups
Specific function:
Responsible for the synthesis of complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides in many glycoproteins as well as the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids. Can produce lactose.
Gene Name:
B4GALT2
Uniprot ID:

Reactions
Uridine diphosphategalactose + D-Glucose → Uridine 5'-diphosphate + beta-Lactosedetails
General function:
Involved in lactose synthase activity
Specific function:
Regulatory subunit of lactose synthase, changes the substrate specificity of galactosyltransferase in the mammary gland making glucose a good acceptor substrate for this enzyme. This enables LS to synthesize lactose, the major carbohydrate component of milk. In other tissues, galactosyltransferase transfers galactose onto the N-acetylglucosamine of the oligosaccharide chains in glycoproteins.

Reactions
Uridine diphosphategalactose + D-Glucose → Uridine 5'-diphosphate + beta-Lactosedetails
General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring glycosyl groups
Specific function:
The Golgi complex form catalyzes the production of lactose in the lactating mammary gland and could also be responsible for the synthesis of complex-type N-linked oligosaccharides in many glycoproteins as well as the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids. The cell surface form functions as a recognition molecule during a variety of cell to cell and cell to matrix interactions, as those occurring during development and egg fertilization, by binding to specific oligosaccharide ligands on opposing cells or in the extracellular matrix.

Reactions
Uridine diphosphategalactose + D-Glucose → Uridine 5'-diphosphate + beta-Lactosedetails
General function:
Involved in hydrolase activity, hydrolyzing O-glycosyl compounds
Specific function:
Cleaves beta-linked terminal galactosyl residues from gangliosides, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans. Isoform 2 has no beta-galactosidase catalytic activity, but plays functional roles in the formation of extracellular elastic fibers (elastogenesis) and in the development of connective tissue. Seems to be identical to the elastin-binding protein (EBP), a major component of the non-integrin cell surface receptor expressed on fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, chondroblasts, leukocytes, and certain cancer cell types. In elastin producing cells, associates with tropoelastin intracellularly and functions as a recycling molecular chaperone which facilitates the secretions of tropoelastin and its assembly into elastic fibers.
