UAP1L1

Chr 9

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase 1 like 1

The protein is predicted to function as a UDP-N-acetylglucosamine diphosphorylase, catalyzing a key step in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthesis which is essential for protein glycosylation and other cellular processes. Currently, no specific diseases have been definitively associated with UAP1L1 mutations in the medical literature. The gene shows relatively low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI ~0, LOEUF 1.074), suggesting it may tolerate some degree of functional variation.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.

DNprediction above median

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
