Entrez Gene Summary for GULOP Gene. This gene is nonfunctional in humans and other primates. In most mammalian species the corresponding gene encodes L-gulono-gamma-lactone oxidase which catalyzes the last step of ascorbic acid biosynthesis.The human gene is a remnant that lacks five of twelve exons found in functional rodent genes.The loss of enzyme activity results in hypoascorbemia or the inability to synthesize vitamin C.

Best Answer: Yes--and I will elaborate. Humans and old world monkeys share a defective gene, known as the GULO gene. The GULO gene is responsible for the synthesis of ascorbic acid. Mammals that have a malfunctioning (broken) GULO gene include fruit bats, hamsters, humans, and many old world monkeys.ew world monkeys (south american primates) do NOT have a broken GULO gene. Nor do ALL old world (Africa) monkeys. We appear to be more distantly related to those primates with functioning GULO genes than to those with the broken gene.
