UDP-galactose transporter involved in the synthesis of galactose-containing glycans. Plays a role in quiescence of the innate immune response, possibly by regulating glycosylation of the Toll pathway ligand spz. Detected in lymph glands from late third-instar larvae (at protein level). Lethal in late larvae and early pupal stages. In immunologically unchallenged third-instar larvae, displays abnormalities of the immune organs, including melanotic cells in the hemocoel and melanotic tumors in the lymph glands; in the primary and secondary lobes, shows activation of lamellocytes and reduced numbers of hematocyte progenitor cells and plasmatocytes. In addition, displays hyperactivation of immune signal transduction via the Toll, JAK/STAT and JNK pathways; shows reduced expression of galactose-containing glycans affecting also spz glycosylation. The gene name means 'Buddha with a thousand hands manipulating tools to protect us' in Japanese. Belongs to the nucleotide-sugar transporter family.
