description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable aldose 1-epimerase activity. Predicted to be involved in galactose catabolic process via UDP-galactose and glucose metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within carbohydrate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in galactosemia. Orthologous to human GALM (galactose mutarotase). |
