Transcriptional regulator; involved in activation of the GAL genes in response to galactose; forms a complex with Gal80p to relieve Gal80p inhibition of Gal4p; binds galactose and ATP but does not have galactokinase activity; GAL3 has a paralog, GAL1, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000002416]

Chromosome IV: 463,434-464,996 forward strand.

R64-1-1:BK006938.2
