Type: | Family | Name: | UDP-glucose 4-epimerase GalE |
Description: | Synonym: UDP-galactose 4-epimerase UDP-glucose 4-epimerase () interconverts UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose which are precursors of glucose- andgalactose-containing exopolysaccharides (EPS). A set of related proteins, some of which are tentatively identified as UDP-glucose-4-epimerase in Thermotoga maritima, Bacillus halodurans, and several archaea, but deeply branched from this set and lacking experimental evidence, are excluded and described by a separate model. | Short Name: | GalE |
