glukodine Definition

Glukodine, also known as glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GPTase), is a crucial enzyme involved in the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate into diglucosylglycerol-1-phosphate, a key step in the process of glucocerebrosidase (GCase) activation. This enzyme plays a significant role in lipid metabolism and is particularly important in neurodegenerative diseases such as Gaucher disease.
