Enables UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including UDP-glucuronate biosynthetic process; protein hexamerization; and proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Located in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 84. Orthologous to human UGDH (UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase).
