Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 10020
Gene name Glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase
Gene symbol GNE
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DMRVGLCNEIBM2NMTHC12Uae1
Chromosome 9
Chromosome location 9p13.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a bifunctional enzyme that initiates and regulates the biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc), a precursor of sialic acids. It is a rate-limiting enzyme in the sialic acid biosynthetic pathway. Sialic acid modi
