GALE wt Allele

Preferred Label : GALE wt Allele;

NCIt synonyms : THC13; SDR1E1; Galactose Epimerase Gene; Galactose-4-Epimerase, UDP- Gene; UDP-Galactose-4-Epimerase wt Allele; Short Chain Dehydrogenase/Reductase Family 1E, Member 1 Gene;

NCIt definition : Human GALE wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p36.11 and is approximately 5 kb in length. This allele, which encodes UDP-glucose 4-epimerase protein, is involved in the reversible epimerization of glucose to galactose for precursor molecules involved in cellular metabolism and the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Mutations in the gene are associated with galactosemia 3 (galactose epimerase deficiency) and syndromic thrombocytopenia 13.;
