Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiongale-1 encodes a putative UDP-galactose-4-epimerase, orthologous tohuman GALE (OMIM:606953, mutated in galactose epimerase deficiency);GALE-1 is thought to interconvert UDP-N-acetylglucosamine andUDP-N-acetylgalactosamine at the end of the hexosamine pathway; gale-1is expressed in neurons, intestine and the developing reproductivesystem, but has no observed function in mass RNAi assays.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00006525

Automated_descriptionEnables UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 4-epimerase activity and UDP-glucose 4-epimerase activity. Involved in several processes, including gonad morphogenesis; negative regulation of endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; and positive regulation of vulval development. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in head. Used to study galactosemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in galactose epimerase deficiency. Is an ortholog of human GALE (UDP-galactose-4-epimerase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMutations in human GALE (UDP-galactose-4-prime-epimerase) are implicated in the autosomal recessive disorder, type III galactosemia; GALE participates in the galactose metabolism pathway, catalyzing the interconversion of UDP-galactose (UDP-gal) and UDP-glucose (UDP-glc) and in some species, including humans, also the interconversion of UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-galNAc) and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-glcNAc; one of the symptoms of galactosemia is intolerance to a galactose-rich diet, attributed to the accumulation of toxic galactose metabolism intermediatesHomo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00045849

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
