IPR002618 | Family | UTP--glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase family |
Type: | Family | Name: | UTP--glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase |
Description: | UDP-glucose is the universal activated form of glucose, employed in all organisms for glucosyl transfer reactions and as precursor for various activated carbohydrates []. It is formed by the enzyme UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) (), which catalyses the reaction UTP + alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate = diphosphate + UDP-glucose. The enzymatically active form of the protein is a homooctamer in Saccharomyces cerevisiae []. | Short Name: | UDPGP_trans |
