Uridine Diphosphate Glucose

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A key intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism. Serves as a precursor of glycogen, can be metabolized into UDPgalactose and UDPglucuronic acid which can then be incorporated into polysaccharides as galactose and glucuronic acid. Also serves as a precursor of sucrose lipopolysaccharides, and glycosphingolipids.      Other names Uridine Diphosphoglucose; UDPG; UDP Glucose; Glucose, Uridine Diphosphate; Glucose, UDP; Diphosphoglucose, Uridine; Diphosphate Glucose, Uridine
