:UDP-glucosamine
Description:
UDP-glucosamine, or uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine, is a nucleotide sugar that plays a crucial role in various biochemical processes, particularly in the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids. It is characterized by its structure, which consists of a uridine moiety linked to a diphosphate group and an N-acetylglucosamine residue. This compound is involved in the biosynthesis of polysaccharides and is a key substrate for glycosyltransferases, enzymes that facilitate the transfer of sugar moieties to other molecules. UDP-glucosamine is also important in the metabolism of amino sugars and is a precursor for the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and chitin. In terms of solubility, it is typically soluble in water, which is essential for its biological functions. The compound is also involved in signaling pathways and cellular processes, making it significant in both health and disease contexts. Its CAS number, 17479-04-8, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
