CAS 117756-22-6: Uridine(5')disodiodiphospho(1)-α-D-glucose
Description:Uridine(5')disodiodiphospho(1)-α-D-glucose, commonly referred to as UDP-glucose, is a nucleotide sugar that plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism and biosynthesis. It is characterized by its structure, which consists of a uridine moiety linked to a diphosphate group and an α-D-glucose unit. UDP-glucose serves as an essential substrate for glycosylation reactions, facilitating the transfer of glucose to various acceptor molecules, including proteins and lipids, thereby contributing to the formation of glycogen and glycoproteins. This compound is highly soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups and phosphate groups. UDP-glucose is also involved in signaling pathways and is a key player in the synthesis of polysaccharides. Its biological significance extends to various cellular processes, including energy metabolism and the regulation of gene expression. Overall, UDP-glucose is a vital molecule in biochemistry, underpinning numerous metabolic pathways and cellular functions.
