Summary: Enables UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase activity. Involved in UDP-glucuronate biosynthetic process; gastrulation with mouth forming second; and proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 84. Orthologous to human UGDH (UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
