Target: UGCG (UDP-Glucose Ceramide Glucosyltransferase (UGCG))

Alternative Name: UGCG (UGCG Products)

Background: Ceramide glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.80) (GLCT-1) (Glucosylceramide synthase) (GCS) (Glycosylceramide synthase) (UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase) (UDP-glucose:N-acylsphingosine D-glucosyltransferase),FUNCTION: Participates in the initial step of the glucosylceramide-based glycosphingolipid/GSL synthetic pathway at the cytosolic surface of the Golgi (PubMed:8643456, PubMed:1532799). Catalyzes the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to ceramide to produce glucosylceramide/GlcCer (such as beta-D-glucosyl-(1<->1')-N-acylsphing-4-enine) (PubMed:1532799, PubMed:8643456). GlcCer is the core component of glycosphingolipids/GSLs, amphipathic molecules consisting of a ceramide lipid moiety embedded in the outer leaflet of the membrane, linked to one of hundreds of different externally oriented oligosaccharide structures (PubMed:8643456). Glycosphingolipids are essential components of membrane microdomains that mediate membrane trafficking and signal transduction, implicated in many fundamental cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, migration, morphogenesis, cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions (By similarity). They are required for instance in the proper development and functioning of the nervous system (By similarity). As an example of their role in signal transduction, they regulate the leptin receptor/LEPR in the leptin-mediated signaling pathway (By similarity). They also play an important role in the establishment of the skin barrier regulating keratinocyte differentiation and the proper assembly of the cornified envelope (By similarity). The biosynthesis of GSLs is also required for the proper intestinal endocytic uptake of nutritional lipids (By similarity). Catalyzes the synthesis of xylosylceramide/XylCer (such as beta-D-xylosyl-(1<->1')-N-acylsphing-4-enine) using UDP-Xyl as xylose donor (PubMed:33361282). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88693, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1532799, ECO:0000269|PubMed:33361282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8643456, ECO:0000303|PubMed:8643456}.
