Gene Details: UAP1
1 / 1
General Information
Gene Name: UAP1 (UDP-N-acetylhexosamine pyrophosphorylase)
Synonym: SPAG2
Short Names:
Alternative Names: Antigen X;Protein-pyrophosphorylation enzyme;Sperm-associated antigen 2;UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine pyrophosphorylase;UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase;
Notes:
- Converts UTP and GlcNAc-1-P into UDP-GlcNAc, and UTP and GalNAc-1-P into UDP-GalNAc. Isoform AGX1 has 2 to 3 times higher activity towards GalNAc-1-P, while isoform AGX2 has 8 times more activity towards GlcNAc-1-P
- Little is known how this enzyme plays roles in disease.
