Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

GALEUDP-glucose 4-epimerase; Catalyzes two distinct but analogous reactions: the reversible epimerization of UDP-glucose to UDP-galactose and the reversible epimerization of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to UDP-N- acetylgalactosamine. The reaction with UDP-Gal plays a critical role in the Leloir pathway of galactose catabolism in which galactose is converted to the glycolytic intermediate glucose 6-phosphate. It contributes to the catabolism of dietary galactose and enables the endogenous biosynthesis of both UDP-Gal and UDP-GalNAc when exogenous sources are limited. Both UDP-sugar interconversi [...] (348 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
GALT
Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; Plays an important role in galactose metabolism.
  
 0.998
GALK1
Galactokinase; Major enzyme for galactose metabolism; Belongs to the GHMP kinase family. GalK subfamily.
  
 0.995
UGP2
UTP--glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase; Plays a central role as a glucosyl donor in cellular metabolic pathways; Belongs to the UDPGP type 1 family.
  
 
 0.994
GALM
Aldose 1-epimerase; Mutarotase converts alpha-aldose to the beta-anomer. It is active on D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-galactose, maltose and lactose (By similarity).
 
  
 0.987
GALK2
N-acetylgalactosamine kinase; Acts on GalNAc. Also acts as a galactokinase when galactose is present at high concentrations. May be involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex carbohydrates; Belongs to the GHMP kinase family. GalK subfamily.
  
 0.986
UGDH
UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the formation of UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate, a constituent of complex glycosaminoglycans. Required for the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate. Required for embryonic development via its role in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans (By similarity). Belongs to the UDP-glucose/GDP-mannose dehydrogenase family.
  
 
 0.984
UAP1
UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine pyrophosphorylase; Converts UTP and GlcNAc-1-P into UDP-GlcNAc, and UTP and GalNAc-1-P into UDP-GalNAc. Isoform AGX1 has 2 to 3 times higher activity towards GalNAc-1-P, while isoform AGX2 has 8 times more activity towards GlcNAc-1-P.
    
 0.959
IL11RA
Interleukin-11 receptor subunit alpha; Receptor for interleukin-11. The receptor systems for IL6, LIF, OSM, CNTF, IL11 and CT1 can utilize IL6ST for initiating signal transmission. The IL11/IL11RA/IL6ST complex may be involved in the control of proliferation and/or differentiation of skeletogenic progenitor or other mesenchymal cells. Essential for the normal development of craniofacial bones and teeth. Restricts suture fusion and tooth number.
  
 0.953
G3V4G9_HUMAN
Ig-like domain-containing protein.
  
 0.953
UAP1L1
UDP-N-acetylhexosamine pyrophosphorylase-like protein 1; UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase 1 like 1.
