Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0)
Enables UDP-glucose:hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase activity. Involved in galactose catabolic process via UDP-galactose. Acts upstream of or within glycolytic process from galactose. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in early tubule; embryo; embryo endoderm; hindgut diverticulum; and renal interstitium. Used to study galactosemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in classic galactosemia. Orthologous to human GALT (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase).
