Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 22235 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase activity. Involved in UDP-glucuronate biosynthetic process; gastrulation with mouth forming second; and proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 84. Orthologous to human UGDH (UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase). PHENOTYPE: Mutation of this gene results in developmental arrest during gastrulation with defects in endoderm and mesoderm migration. [provided by MGI curators] |
