Description

UDP-a-D-galactose ammonium salt is a nucleotide sugar that is synthesized from uridine and D-galactose. It plays a role in cellular energy metabolism by providing substrate for the synthesis of phospholipids and glycolipids. UDP-a-D-galactose ammonium salt has been shown to be involved in the transcriptional regulation of genes encoding enzymes involved in galactose metabolism. This nucleotide sugar also has been shown to be an exogenous acceptor for various oligosaccharides, including those present on glycoproteins and glycolipids.
