Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for UGCG(NM_003358.2) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are a group of membrane components that contain lipid and sugar moieties. They are present in essentially all animal cells and are believed to have important roles in various cellular processes. UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase catalyzes the first glycosylation step in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis. The product, glucosylceramide, is the core structure of more than 300 GSLs. UGCG is widely expressed and transciption is upregulated during keratinocyte differentiation. [provided by RefSeq].

- serve as negative regulator for ceramide
- Glucosylceramide synthase and its functional interaction with RTN-1C regulate chemotherapeutic-induced apoptosis in neuroepithelioma cells.
- inhibition of glucosylceramide synthase led to increased CER galactosylation and protected U937 and HL-60 cells from DNR-induced apoptosis
- glucosylceramide synthase is not solely responsible for drug resistance in cancer cells
- p-gp confers resistance to ceramide-induced apoptosis, with modulation of the ceramide-glucosylceramide pathway GCS making a marked contribution to this resistance
- 10 genes were down-regulated following treatment of the T-ALL cells with 0.15 and 1.5 microg/mL of metal ores at 72 h. Transferase activity, transferring glycol groups
- the reticulon family member RTN-1C has been expressed and purified in Escherichia coli and its molecular structure has been analysed by fluorescence and Circular Dichroism spectroscopy
- it is suggested that a high level of GCS in leukemia is possible contributed to multidrug resistance of leukemia cells.
- Western analysis for glucosylceramide synthase showed a significant decrease in Alzheimer disease brain consistent with the hypothesis that enzyme dysfunction contributes to neuronal decay.
- High glucosylceramide synthase is associated with breast cancer.
