Description

The expression region of this recombinant Human UGP2 covers amino acids 1-497. The calculated molecular weight for this UGP2 protein is 71.7 kDa. Expression of this UGP2 protein is conducted in e.coli. Fusion of the N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO tag into the UGP2 encoding gene fragment was conducted, allowing for easier detection and purification of the UGP2 protein in subsequent stages.

Human UTP-Glucose-1-Phosphate Uridylyltransferase (UGP2) is a key enzyme in glycogen metabolism, catalyzing the formation of UDP-glucose. UGP2 plays a vital role in glucose homeostasis, contributing to glycogen synthesis and storage. In metabolic research, UGP2 is crucial for understanding carbohydrate metabolism and its dysregulation in diseases like diabetes. Furthermore, UGP2's involvement in nucleotide sugar biosynthesis makes it relevant in glycosylation pathways, impacting cell signaling and immune responses. Studying UGP2 provides insights into its roles in diverse cellular processes, offering potential applications in metabolic disorders, glycosylation-related diseases, and therapeutic strategies targeting glycogen metabolism and related pathways.

Target Background

Function

UTP--glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase catalyzing the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate into UDP-glucose, a crucial precursor for the production of glycogen.

High UGP2 expression is associated with malignant pancreatic lesions. PMID: 29347944
This study provides clear evidence that the octameric state is a prerequisite for activity in the uridine diphosphate-glucose pyrophosphorylase. PMID: 23254995
The crystal structure was determined and shown to form octamers through end-to-end and side-by-side interactions. Mutagenesis studies showed that both dissociation of octamers and mutations of the latch loop can significantly affect the activity. PMID: 22132858
GYS1 regulation by HIF plays a central role in the hypoxic accumulation of glycogen, and hypoxia also upregulates the expression of UTP:glucose-1-phosphate urydylyltransferase (UGP2) and 1,4-alpha glucan branching enzyme (GBE1) PMID: 20300197
