galE1

Gene

galE1

Protein

UDP-glucose 4-epimerase

Organism

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)

Length

314 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 (By similarity).

Similarity

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

Mass

33.582 kDa
