Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiongfat-2 encodes a glucosamine--fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase (EC:2.6.1.16, also known as glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase), paralogous to GFAT-1; GFAT-2 is predicted to catalyze the first, and rate-limiting, step of the hexosamine pathway in which glucosamine-6-phosphate is synthesized from L-glutamine and fructose-6-phosphate and ultimately converted to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc); gfat-2 transcripts are enriched during oogenesis; gfat-2(RNAi) animals have an osmotically-sensitive embryonic lethal phenotype, presumably because of defects in chitin and eggshell synthesis.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005599

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase (isomerizing) activity. Predicted to be involved in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process; fructose 6-phosphate metabolic process; and protein N-linked glycosylation. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 12; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is an ortholog of human GFPT1 (glutamine--fructose-6-phosphate transaminase 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
