Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable heparosan-N-sulfate-glucuronate 5-epimerase activity. Involved in heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process, enzymatic modification; regulation of cell migration; and regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Expressed in hypodermis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebrovascular disease and hypertension. Is an ortholog of human GLCE (glucuronic acid epimerase).
