Curator or user-submitted Comments:

GalM substrates include D-galactose, D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, maltose and lactose. Some GalM activity is found in the periplasm. GalM N-terminal sequence demonstrates the initial Met is not cleaved, however the protein was overproduced using a vector-encoded RBS so it is not in the Verifeid Set (Bouffard, 1994). galM, yphB and yihR are paralogs. 8/175 GalM peptide masses from MS analysis confirm this start codon and indicate that the initial Met is not removed (Maillet, 2007).
