    Summary
    Predicted to enable ceramide glucosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including glucosylceramide biosynthetic process; regulation of mesodermal cell fate specification; and regulation of protein localization to basolateral plasma membrane. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including germ line; head mesodermal cell; hypodermis; pharynx; and rectum. Orthologous to human UGCG (UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
