Predicted to enable glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthetic process and amino sugar catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within carbohydrate metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and nervous system. Orthologous to human GNPDA2 (glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
