Function

Structure

  • homooctamer (putative)
  • belongs to the UDPGP type 1 family

Compartment

cytoplasm

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=2

Notes

  • the human genome was initially though to contain 2 genes for UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase: UGP1 & UGP2; however, the sequence defined as UGP1[3] probably does not exist & corresponds to UGP2[2]
