Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Diphosphogalactose, Uridine
  • Galactose, UDP
  • Pyrophosphogalactose, Uridine
  • UDPGal
  • UDP Galactose
  • Uridine Diphosphogalactose
  • Uridine Pyrophosphogalactose

Scope note

  • A nucleoside diphosphate sugar which can be epimerized into UDPglucose for entry into the mainstream of carbohydrate metabolism. Serves as a source of galactose in the synthesis of lipopolysaccharides, cerebrosides, and lactose.
