EC 2.7.7.10     
Accepted name: UTP—hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase
Reaction: UTP + α-D-galactose 1-phosphate = diphosphate + UDP-α-D-galactose

Other name(s): galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; galactose 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; α-D-galactose 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; galactose 1-phosphate uridyltransferase; UDPgalactose pyrophosphorylase; uridine diphosphate galactose pyrophosphorylase; uridine diphosphogalactose pyrophosphorylase
Systematic name: UTP:α-D-hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase
Comments: α-D-Glucose 1-phosphate can also act as acceptor, but more slowly.
