|
| Function |
Controls the flux of glucose into the hexosamine pathway. Most likely involved in regulating the availability of precursors for N- and O-linked glycosylation of proteins.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highest levels of expression in heart, placenta, and spinal cord.
|
| Top Pathways |
Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, Alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism
