NUDT14 nudix hydrolase 14

Gene ID: 256281, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: UGPP; UGPPase

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Nudix hydrolase family. Nudix hydrolases eliminate potentially toxic nucleotide metabolites from the cell and regulate the concentrations and availability of many different nucleotide substrates, cofactors, and signaling molecules. This enzyme contains a Nudix hydrolase domain and is a UDPG pyrophosphatase that hydrolyzes UDPG to produce glucose 1-phosphate and UMP. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
