Enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of galactolipids in photosynthetic organisms Galactolipid galactosyltransferase is a membrane-associated glycosyltransferase enzyme that catalyzes the formation of galactolipids, a class of lipids containing galactose sugar residues attached to glycerol-based lipid backbones. These lipids are among the most abundant membrane lipids in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, particularly within chloroplast membranes where […]
