Background
This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the first glycosylation step in the biosynthesis of glycosphingolipids, which are membrane components containing lipid and sugar moieties. The product of this reaction is glucosylceramide, which is the core structure of many glycosphingolipids. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014],
Function
catalytic activity:UDP-glucose + N-acylsphingosine = UDP + D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine.,function:Catalyzes the first glycosylation step in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, the transfer of glucose to ceramide. May also serve as a "flippase".,online information:GlycoGene database,pathway:Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism.,similarity:Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family.,tissue specificity:Found in all tissues examined.,
