Reaction: Ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) catalyses the transfer of glucose to ceramide
- in pathway: Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis
Ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) catalyses the first glycosylation step in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis by the transfer of glucose to ceramide (Ichikawa et al. 1996).
