Human Gene GALM (ENST00000272252.10) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens galactose mutarotase (GALM), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_138801) RefSeq Summary (NM_138801): 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.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000272252.10 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000143891.17 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr2:38,666,114-38,734,765 Size: 68,652 Total Exon Count: 7 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg38 chr2:38,666,162-38,733,565 Size: 67,404 Coding Exon Count: 7
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
