RENBP Products

Description

RENBP, also known as N-acylglucosamine 2-epimerase, is a 49kDa 427 amino acid protein with a shorter 29kDa 254 isoform produced by alternative splicing. RENBP functions as a catalyzer in the conversion of N-acetylglucosamine to N-acetylmannosamine. Current research is being conducted on RENBP in relation to sialuria, Wilms tumor, allergic rhinitis, myopathy, vascular disease, hypertension, nephropathy, proteinuria and aldosteronism. RENBP has been linked to the amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism pathways where it interacts with HEXA, HEXB, GNE, REN and ZBED1.
