    Summary
    Enables UTP:glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase activity. Involved in UDP-glucuronate biosynthetic process and glycogen biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; respiratory system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 83. Orthologous to human UGP2 (UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2).

    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.
