Protein
UDP-glucuronic acid/UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine transporter
Function
Transports both UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) from the cytoplasm into the endoplasmic reticulum lumen (PubMed:11322953, PubMed:17952091). Plays a role in chondroitin sulfate biosynthesis, which is important for formation of cartilage extracellular matrix and normal skeletal development (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the TPT transporter family. SLC35D subfamily.
