Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP13875
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name UTP--glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase
Synonyms
  1. Alpha-D-glucosyl-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase
  2. UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase
  3. Uridine diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase
  4. UDPGP
Gene Name GTAB
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Catalyzes the formation of UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate and UTP. This is an intermediate step in the biosynthesis of diglucosyl-diacylglycerol (Glc2-DAG), i.e. a glycolipid found in the membrane, which is also used as a membrane anchor for lipoteichoic acid (LTA) (By similarity).
