This enzyme has a molecular mass of approximately 39 kDa. It is mainly expressed in human tissues such as liver kidney and placenta. Expression levels might vary slightly depending on the specific tissue but these are areas where significant enzyme activity is observed.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nGlucuronic Acid Epimerase plays an important role in the modification of glycosaminoglycans by changing the stereochemistry of uronic acid residues. This ability to alter sugar components is important for creating diverse structural and functional variations in heparan sulfate chains. Though not part of a larger protein complex GLCE's activity significantly affects the structural integrity and function of extracellular matrix components.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nGlucuronic Acid Epimerase is involved in the heparan sulfate biosynthesis pathway which is essential for cell signaling and interaction. The enzyme coordinates with other biosynthetic enzymes like N-deacetylase\/N-sulfotransferase (NDST) to generate unique heparan sulfate structures. These structures mediate interactions with growth factors within the heparan sulfate biosynthesis and modification pathway.\u003cbr\u003e\nAltered Glucuronic Acid Epimerase activity might influence pathological conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Aberrant heparan sulfate structures linked to irregular GLCE function can contribute to tumor growth by affecting cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Additionally disorders like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which also involves abnormal glycosaminoglycan metabolism might relate to GLCE activity. Interactions with proteins such as fibroblast growth factors (FGF) might influence these disease processes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854351716521,"sku":"ab236088","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab236088","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
