Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including UDP-N-acetylglucosamine diphosphorylase activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein serine pyrophosphorylase activity. Predicted to be involved in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthetic process; antiviral innate immune response; and positive regulation of type I interferon production. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human UAP1 (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase 1).
