Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: GFPT1
  • Official Name: glutamine–fructose-6-phosphate transaminase 1
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 2673
  • UniProt: Q06210
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: This gene encodes the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine pathway and controls the flux of glucose into the hexosamine pathway. The product of this gene catalyzes the formation of glucosamine 6-phosphate. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008].
  • UniProt Summary: Controls the flux of glucose into the hexosamine pathway. Most likely involved in regulating the availability of precursors for N- and O-linked glycosylation of proteins. Regulates the circadian expression of clock genes ARNTL/BMAL1 and CRY1.
