Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is the second enzyme in the Leloir pathway, the metabolic pathway for D-galactose catabolism. It catalyzes the conversion of galactose-1-phosphate and uridine diphosphate-glucose to glucose-1-phosphate and uridine diphosphate galactose. Deficiency of this enzyme causes the genetic metabolic disorder galactosemia. Mice lacking this protein accumulate high levels of galactose and galactose-1 phosphate but are viable and fertile. This protein is negatively regulated through signaling by the polypeptide hormone prolactin, specifically via the short isoform of the prolactin receptor and the transcription factor Forkhead box O3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

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.
