IPR005886

Description

IPR005886 is a UDP-glucose 4-epimerase.

<p>UDP-glucose 4-epimerase ([ec:5.1.3.2], also known as UDP-galactose 4-epimerase) interconverts UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose which are precursors of glucose-and galactose-containing exopolysaccharides (EPS) [[cite:PUB00083159]]. Arabidopsis thaliana has five genes encoding functional UDP-D-glucose/UDP-D-galactose 4-epimerase [[cite:PUB00083158]].</p> <p>A set of related proteins, some of which are tentatively identified as UDP-glucose-4-epimerase in Thermotoga maritima, Bacillus halodurans, and several archaea, but deeply branched from this set and lacking experimental evidence, are not included in this family.</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Molecular function UDP-glucose 4-epimerase activity Catalysis of the reaction: UDP-glucose = UDP-galactose.
Biological process Galactose metabolic process The chemical reactions and pathways involving galactose, the aldohexose galacto-hexose. D-galactose is widely distributed in combined form in plants, animals and microorganisms as a constituent of oligo- and polysaccharides; it also occurs in galactolipids and as its glucoside in lactose and melibiose.
