    5.1.3.6 | evolution |
the enzyme is a member of the UGlcAE family, a subfamily of the the SDR enzyme superfamily. The only three family members are OcUGlcAE1, OcUGlcAE2, and OcUGlcAE3, isolated from Ornithogalum caudatum. Phylogenetic relationships of OcUGlcAE with other UGlcAE, UGE (UDP-D-glucose 4-epimerase) and UXE (UDP-D-xylose 4-epimerase) enzymes are analyzed |

| 5.1.3.6 | malfunction |
deletion of the conversed GxxGxxG motif result in the activity loss of OcUGlcAE3 |

| 5.1.3.6 | more |
the N-terminus of UGlcAEs plays important roles in their soluble expression and 4-epimerase activity |
