Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0)
Enables N-acylmannosamine kinase activity and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase activity. Involved in CMP-N-acetylneuraminate biosynthetic process and N-acetylneuraminate biosynthetic process. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in GNE myopathy; sialuria; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human GNE (glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase).
