RGP3

Gene
RGP3
Protein
UDP-arabinopyranose mutase 3
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
362 amino acids
Function
UDP-L-arabinose mutase involved in the biosynthesis of cell wall non-cellulosic polysaccharides. Catalyzes the interconvertion of UDP-L-arabinopyranose (UDP-Arap) and UDP-L-arabinofuranose (UDP-Araf). Preferentially catalyzes the formation of UDP-Arap from UDP-Araf. At thermodynamic equilibrium in vitro the ratio of the pyranose form over the furanose form is 95:5. Is not active on other UDP-sugars (UDP-Gal, UDP-Xyl, UDP-Glc, GDP-Man and GDP-Fuc). Is probably active as heteromer in vivo.
Similarity
