Lactose Biosynthesis

Lactose Biosynthesis is a metabolic process, specifically a glycosylation reaction in the mammary gland, wherein β-D-galactose and glucose are enzymatically linked by lactose synthase to form lactose, distinguishing it from other disaccharide synthesis pathways by its tissue-specific expression and hormonal regulation.
