In the Golgi membrane, the B4GALT1 subunit of the B4GALT1:LALBA (beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 : alpha-lactalbumin) complex catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to free glucose to form galactose and UDP (Andrews 1970; Ramakrishnan & Qasba 2001). The representation here of a stable protein complex catalyzing the transformation of small molecule substrates provides a simplified view of the true reaction mechanism (Brew and Hill 1975), but is sufficient to identify the key participating molecules and their roles.
