Predicted to enable UDP-N-acetylglucosamine diphosphorylase activity; carbohydrate binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human UAP1 (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
