Galactose Mutarotase; Aldose 1-Epimerase; Aldose Mutarotase; Galactomutarotase; EC 5.1.3.3; Epididymis Secretory Sperm Binding Protein Li 63p

This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the epimerization of hexose sugars such as glucose and galactose. The encoded protein is expressed in the cytoplasm and has a preference for galactose. The encoded protein may be required for normal galactose metabolism by maintaining the equilibrium of alpha and beta anomers of galactose.
