Protein
UDP-galactose/UDP-glucose transporter 1
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Essential sugar transporter required for the transport of UDP-galactose and UDP-glucose from the cytoplasm into the Golgi and the endoplasmic reticulum, to ensure quality control of protein folding. Essential for pollen development and involved in embryo sac progress.
Similarity
Belongs to the nucleotide-sugar transporter family. UDP-galactose:UMP antiporter (TC 2.A.7.11) subfamily.
