UDP-b-L-arabinopyranose

CAS: 15839-78-8

Ref. 3D-MU07659

Product Information

• Name: UDP-b-L-arabinopyranose
• Synonyms: uridine[5']diphospho-b-L-arabinopyranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: UDP-b-L-arabinopyranose is a nucleotide sugar that is used in the synthesis of proteins and other macromolecules. It is synthesized from uridine and d-ribulose 5-phosphate by the enzyme ribulokinase. The reaction between UDP, b-L-arabinofuranose, and ATP, catalyzed by arabinofuranosyl transferase, produces UDP-b-L-arabinopyranose. This nucleotide sugar can be converted to UDP-b-(1→4)-glucuronate by the enzyme glucuronosyltransferase. This process plays an important role in plant physiology as well as in cell wall biosynthesis. The optimal pH for this conversion is 7.5 to 8.2.
