About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for UGT8:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase family. It catalyzes the transfer of galactose
to ceramide, a key enzymatic step in the biosynthesis of galactocerebrosides, which are abundant sphingolipids of the
myelin membrane of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been
found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CGT_HUMAN, Q16880
Function: Catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide, a key enzymatic step in the biosynthesis of
galactocerebrosides, which are abundant sphingolipids of the myelin membrane of the central nervous system and
peripheral nervous system
