The activity of UDP-Gal:LacCer galactosyltransferase in human placenta was studied by using crude homogenate and Triton CF-54 extract as the source of enzyme. Transfer of galactose to lactosylceramide was optimal in the presence of 0.1% Triton CF-54 and Mn2+ at pH 6.3, and the reaction product was susceptible to alpha-galactosidase.
