Reaction: UDP-β-L-arabinofuranose = UDP-β-L-arabinopyranose
Other name(s): Os03g40270 protein; UAM1; UAM3; RGP1; RGP3; OsUAM1; OsUAM2; Os03g0599800 protein; Os07g41360 protein
Systematic name: UDP-arabinopyranose pyranomutase
Comments: The reaction is reversible and at thermodynamic equilibrium the pyranose form is favored over the furanose form (90:10) [1].
