NCBI Protein Information
UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase family protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes one of four UDP-glucose dehydrogenase UGD) genes. Mutation of this gene in combination with UGD3 leads to swollen plant cell walls and severe developmental defects associated with changes in pectic polysaccharides.
