Symbol: glf-1 Name: GaLactoFuranose synthesis (UGM, UDP-galactopyranose mutase) Entrez gene ID: 177358 Ensembl gene ID: H04M03.4 Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239) Functional description: Protein GLF-1; GaLactoFuranose synthesis (UGM, UDP-galactopyranose mutase) family member (glf-1) [Source:RefSeq peptide;Acc:NP_500884] [Ensembl]; 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. [WormBase] Observation: RNA interference decreased median lifespan by 49% in wild type animals, 76% in a daf-2 background and 33% in daf-2/daf-16 double mutants.
