Summary
UGP2 (UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2, HGNC:12527) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p15, encoding UTP–glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (Q16851). UTP–glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase catalyzing the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate into UDP-glucose, a crucial precursor for the production of glycogen. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 25.6% of cell lines).
The enzyme encoded by this gene is an important intermediary in mammalian carbohydrate interconversions. It transfers a glucose moiety from glucose-1-phosphate to MgUTP and forms UDP-glucose and MgPPi. In liver and muscle tissue, UDP-glucose is a direct precursor of glycogen; in lactating mammary gland it is converted to UDP-galactose which is then converted to lactose. The eukaryotic enzyme has no significant sequence similarity to the prokaryotic enzyme. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. UTP–glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase catalyzing the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate into UDP-glucose, a crucial precursor for the production of glycogen.
Subunit / interactions. Homooctamer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in various brain regions. Expressed in amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, caudate, cerebellar hemisphere, cerebellum, cortex, frontal cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, nucleus accumbens, putamen, spinal cord and substantia nigra. Also widely expressed among other tissues, including liver, heart, placenta, lung, kidney, pancreas and skeletal muscle.
Disease relevance. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 83 (DEE83) [MIM:618744] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE83 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by onset of frequent, intractable seizures in the first days to months of life. Affected individuals have profound developmental delay with no motor or language skill acquisition, and poor or absent visual tracking. Many patients die in the first years of life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A recurrent, pathogenic variant affecting the translation initiation codon of isoform 2 has been found in multiple DEE83 families. The variant results in the absence of isoform 2 and leads to reduced levels of functional UGP2 enzyme in neural stem cells. The absence of isoform 2 is compensated by an increased abundance of a functional isoform 1, carrying variant p.Met12Val, which may explain the survival of the patients. A complete absence of functional UGP2 in all cells would be embryonic lethal.
Pathway. Glycan biosynthesis; glycogen biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the UDPGP type 1 family.
