UGCG - UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase Gene
Also Known as GCS; GLCT1
生物種: Homo sapiens
About UGCG
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants) and 212 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 38.2), adrenal (RPKM 32.9) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the first glycosylation step in the biosynthesis of glycosphingolipids, which are membrane components containing lipid and sugar moieties. The product of this reaction is glucosylceramide, which is the core structure of many glycosphingolipids. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]
