GLCE [ENSP00000261858]

D-glucuronyl C5-epimerase; Converts D-glucuronic acid residues adjacent to N-sulfate sugar residues to L-iduronic acid residues, both in maturing heparan sulfate (HS) and heparin chains. This is important for further modifications that determine the specificity of interactions between these glycosaminoglycans and proteins; Belongs to the D-glucuronyl C5-epimerase family.
