UGP2 - UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2 Gene
Also Known as UDPG; UGP1; DEE83; UDPGP; UGPP1; UGPP2; EIEE83; SVUGP2; UDPGP2; pHC379
Species: Homo sapiens
About UGP2
This gene has 39 transcripts (splice variants), 292 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 142.1), fat (RPKM 136.8) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The enzyme encoded by this gene is an important intermediary in mammalian carbohydrate interconversions. It transfers a glucose moiety from glucose-1-phosphate to MgUTP and forms UDP-glucose and MgPPi. In liver and muscle tissue, UDP-glucose is a direct precursor of glycogen; in lactating mammary gland it is converted to UDP-galactose which is then converted to lactose. The eukaryotic enzyme has no significant sequence similarity to the prokaryotic enzyme. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
