Gene Ontology Information

Protein Name	Ugp1p
Description	UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase); catalyses the reversible formation of UDP-Glc from glucose 1-phosphate and UTP, involved in a wide variety of metabolic pathways, expression modulated by Pho85p through Pho4p; involved in PKA-mediated oxidative stress resistance and long-term survival in stationary phase; UGP1 has a paralog, YHL012W, that arose from the whole genome duplication
GO Terms: Biological Process	level 5: UDP-glucose metabolic process level 7: trehalose biosynthetic process level 7: glycogen metabolic process level 8: glycogen biosynthetic process level 9: (1->6)-beta-D-glucan biosynthetic process
