TAIR Computational Description | UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a protein with UTP:sugar 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase activity, which has been shown to use a wide range of substrates including glucose-1-P, galactose-1-P, xylose-1-P, arabinose-1-P and glucuronate-1-P. The enzyme was shown to require Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity. Mutations in USP can lead to a complete loss of male fertility. |
