MeSH Heading: UDPglucose 4-Epimerase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.399.894.500.700
Unique ID: D014534
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014534
Scope Note: A necessary enzyme in the metabolism of galactose. It reversibly catalyzes the conversion of UDPglucose to UDPgalactose. NAD+ is an essential component for enzymatic activity. EC 5.1.3.2.
