Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthetic process; amino sugar catabolic process; and generation of precursor metabolites and energy. Predicted to act upstream of or within fructose 6-phosphate metabolic process; fructose biosynthetic process; and glucosamine metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human GNPDA1 (glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase 1).
