    Summary
    Predicted to enable UDP-glucose 4-epimerase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in galactose catabolic process via UDP-galactose. Predicted to act upstream of or within galactose metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in galactose epimerase deficiency and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human GALE (UDP-galactose-4-epimerase).

    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.
