Product Information

• Name: UDP-D-galactosamine disodium salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: UDP-D-galactosamine disodium salt is a type of sugar that is a substrate for UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), which catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-D-galactose to other molecules. The product of this reaction is UDP-D-galacturonic acid. It is produced in the liver, where it participates in the synthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycosaminoglycans. In addition, it can be found in the distal tubule of the kidney and in leukemia cells. The histological analysis of rat liver tissue showed that UDP-D-galactosamine disodium salt is present in hepatocytes. This sugar also helps with protein synthesis and activates uridine, which can be used as a carbon source. Histological analysis also revealed that UDP-D-galactosamine disodium salt plays an important role in glucose metabolism, as well as
