Disodium UDP-glucose is a phosphorylated uridine derivative used in nucleotide sugars metabolism as an activated form of glucose as a substrate for the enzyme glucosyltransferases. It is used in the treatment of chronic alcoholism. It is used in characterization of limonoid glucosyltransferase.
Glc transferase substrate
Uridine 5'-diphosphoglucose disodium salt is a phosphorylated uridine derivative used in nucleotide sugars metabolism as an activated form of glucose as a substrate for the enzyme glucosyltransferases. It is used in the treatment of chronic alco holism. It is used in characterization of limonoid glucosyltransferase.
Uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) is a glycogen precursor. The transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to growing glycogen chain is catalyzed by the enzyme glycogen synthase. The enzyme uridine diphosphate galactose-4-epimerase catalyzes the formation of UDP-glucose from UDP-galactose.
Uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) is an essential mediator of the cellular metabolic pathways. In yeast, the high levels of trehalose and glycogen favor increased levels of UDP-glucose.
