Lactose synthase activity of galactosyltransferase from human parotid saliva.
Galactosyltransferase is human parotid saliva catalyzed the transfer of galactose from uridine 5'-diphospho (UDP)-galactose to D-glucose in the presence of exogenous alpha-lactalbumin. Some albumins other than alpha-lactalbumin did not have an effect on the appearance of lactosesynthesizing activity.
