Abstract excerpt
UDP-N-Acetyl glucosamine-2 epimerase/N-acetyl mannosamine kinase (GNE) catalyzes key enzymatic reactions in the biosynthesis of sialic acid. Mutation in GNE gene causes GNE myopathy (GNEM) characterized by adult-onset muscle weakness and degeneration. However, recent studies propose alternate roles of GNE in other cellular processes beside sialic acid biosynthesis, particularly interaction of GNE with α-actinin 1...
