- Description
- F22B3.4 encodes a putative glucosamine-fructose 6-phosphate aminotransferase, paralogous to F07A11.2, thought to catalyse the first step of the hexosamine pathway to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine or UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine; F22B3.4 transcripts are enriched during oogenesis; F22B3.4(RNAi) animals have an osmotically-sensitive embryonic lethal phenotype, presumably because of defects in chitin and eggshell synthesis.
