MSMEG_6142

Gene

MSMEG_6142

Protein

UDP-glucose 4-epimerase

Organism

Mycobacterium smegmatis (strain ATCC 700084 / mc(2)155)

Length

313 amino acids

Function

Involved in the metabolism of galactose. Catalyzes the conversion of UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) to UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) through a mechanism involving the transient reduction of NAD.

Similarity

Belongs to the NAD(P)-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family.

Mass
