Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Diphosphoglucose, Uridine
  • Glucose, UDP
  • UDPG
  • UDP Glucose
  • Uridine Diphosphoglucose

Scope note

  • 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.

History note

  • 91(75); was see under URIDINE DIPHOSPHATE SUGARS 1975-90
