Some Properties of Uridine 5'-Diphosphogalactose: N-Acetylglucosamine Galactosyltransferase in Human Parotid Saliva

Abstract
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.
