description | Synonym: UDP-galactose 4-epimerase UDP-glucose 4-epimerase ()interconverts UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose which are precursors of glucose- andgalactose-containing exopolysaccharides (EPS) []. Arabidopsis thaliana has five genes encoding functional UDP-D-glucose/UDP-D-galactose 4-epimerase [].A set of related proteins, someof which are tentatively identified as UDP-glucose-4-epimerase in Thermotoga maritima, Bacillus halodurans, and several archaea, but deeply branched from this set and lacking experimental evidence, are not included in this family. |
