About Ugp2

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including UTP:glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase activity; glucose binding activity; and pyrimidine ribonucleotide binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including UDP-glucose metabolic process; glucose 1-phosphate metabolic process; and glycogen biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; respiratory system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 83. Orthologous to human UGP2 (UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2).
