Only the liver, ovaries, and seminal vesicles have the enzyme sorbitol dehydrogenase to convert sorbitol to fructose, the other organ systems just allow it to accumulate leading to osmotic damage. Develops distaste for sweet stuff. It is primarily known for catalyzing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol, the first step in polyol pathway of glucose metabolism.

Trapped in cell by galactokinase. Lactose disaccharide sugar derived from glucose & galactose that is found in milk lactase deficiency Hypoglycemia because of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis inhibition. There’s also one last really important factoid about classic galactosemia:

Disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. Lactose disaccharide sugar derived from glucose & galactose that is found in milk lactase deficiency Hydrolyzed by sucrase in brush border of small intestine. Glucose is converted to sorbitol via aldose reductase. This score cannot be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for.

Aldose reductase converts galactose to galactitol. Trapped in cell by galactokinase. Although, yes, the child has galactokinase deficiency, the enzyme directly responsible for the cataracts is aldose reductase. Glucose is converted to sorbitol via aldose reductase. Develops distaste for sweet stuff.
