CC   -!- FUNCTION: Involved in the metabolism of galactose. Catalyzes the
CC       conversion of UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal) to UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) through
CC       a mechanism involving the transient reduction of NAD (By similarity).
CC       {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=UDP-alpha-D-glucose = UDP-alpha-D-galactose;
CC         Xref=Rhea:RHEA:22168, ChEBI:CHEBI:58885, ChEBI:CHEBI:66914;
CC         EC=5.1.3.2;
CC   -!- COFACTOR:
CC       Name=NAD(+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57540; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
CC   -!- PATHWAY: Carbohydrate metabolism; galactose metabolism.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NAD(P)-dependent epimerase/dehydratase
CC       family. {ECO:0000305}.
