glf-1 encodes a UDP-galactopyranose mutase predicted to synthesize galactofuranose (Gal(f)) as a nucleotide sugar (UDP-Gal(f)); recombinant GLF-1 has biochemical activity either in vivo (expressed in E. coli) or in vitro; orthologs of GLF-1 are found in the urochordates Halocynthia and Ciona.
Enables UDP-galactopyranose mutase activity. Involved in polysaccharide biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in hypodermis; muscle cell; and neurons.
Map 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.
