Description |
UDP-glucose 4-epimerase |
| Gene Summary |
Enables UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 4-epimerase activity and UDP-glucose 4-epimerase activity. Involved in several processes, including gonad morphogenesis; negative regulation of endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; and positive regulation of vulval development. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in head; hypodermis; intestine; nervous system; and reproductive system. Used to study galactosemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in galactose epimerase deficiency and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human GALE (UDP-galactose-4-epimerase).
