Preferred Label : UDP-Glucose 4-Epimerase;

NCIt synonyms : UDP-N-Acetylglucosamine 4-Epimerase; UDP-Galactose 4-Epimerase; GALE; Galactowaldenase; UDP-GlcNAc 4-Epimerase; UDP-N-Acetylgalactosamine 4-Epimerase; EC 5.1.3.2; EC 5.1.3.7; UDP-Galactose-4-Epimerase; UDP-GalNAc 4-Epimerase;

NCIt definition : UDP-glucose 4-epimerase (348 aa, 38 kDa) is encoded by the human GALE gene. This protein plays a role in the reversible epimerization of UDP-glucose to UDP-galactose and of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine.;
