Gene Details: GALE
1 / 1
General Information
Gene Name: GALE (UDP-glucose 4-epimerase)
Synonym:
Short Names:
Alternative Names: Galactowaldenase;UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine 4-epimerase;UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 4-epimerase;UDP-galactose 4-epimerase;
Notes:
- Epimerizes glucose to galactose on the UDP-glucose sugar nucleotide.
- GALE impairment leads to the human disorder known as galactosemia III which is associated with impaired growth and cognitive deficiencies.
