UGDH - UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase Gene
Also Known as GDH; UGD; DEE84; EIEE84; UDPGDH; UDP-GlcDH
Species: Homo sapiens
About UGDH
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 215 orthologues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in colon (RPKM 31.0), liver (RPKM 26.9) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene converts UDP-glucose to UDP-glucuronate and thereby participates in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronan, chondroitin sulfate, and heparan sulfate. These glycosylated compounds are common components of the extracellular matrix and likely play roles in signal transduction, cell migration, and Cancer growth and metastasis. The expression of this gene is up-regulated by transforming growth factor beta and down-regulated by hypoxia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
