Gene:
nudix (nucleoside diphosphate linked moiety X)-type motif 14
Gene ID:
202402
Symbol:
NUDT14
Species:
1000
Description:
UDP-glucose (UDPG) acts as the sugar donor in numerous glycosylation reactions, including those involved in the production of glycogen. NUDT14 is a UDPG pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.45) that hydrolyzes UDPG to produce glucose 1-phosphate and UMP (Yagi et al., 2003).[supplied by OMIM]
