Some properties of uridine 5'-diphosphogalactose: N-acetylglucosamine galactosyltransferase in human parotid saliva.
Uridine 5'-diphospho (UDP)-galactose: N-acetylglucosamine galactosyltransferase was separated from human parotid saliva and partially purified. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 7.5. The enzyme required a specific acceptor, and its activity was activated by manganese and magnesium ions.
