Predicted to enable UDP-galactose transmembrane transporter activity and UDP-glucose transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in UDP-galactose transmembrane transport and UDP-glucose transmembrane transport. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 26. Orthologous to several human genes including SLC35B1 (solute carrier family 35 member B1).
SGD Description
Protein with a role in UDP-galactose transport to the Golgi lumen; has similarity to human UDP-galactose transporter UGTrel1, exhibits a genetic interaction with S. cerevisiae ERO1
