| overview | UDP-glucose is a nucleotide sugar. It involves the reaction of glycosyltransferase in metabolism. It is a precursor of glycogen, which can be converted into galactose and UDP-glucuronic acid, and then, by enzymes to produce polysaccharides containing galactose and glucuronic acid. | |
| use | UDP-glucose is a nucleotide sugar that involves the reaction of glycosyltransferase in metabolism. It can also be used as a precursor for lipopolysaccharide and glycosphingolipids. | |
| biological activity | Uridine diphosphate glucose are precursors of oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, glycoproteins and glycolipids containing glucose in animal tissues and some microorganisms. Uridine diphosphate glucose is a P2Y14 receptor (a neuroimmune system GPCR) agonist 1. | |
