Uridine diphosphate glucose (uracil-diphosphate glucose, UDP-glucose) is a nucleotide sugar. It is involved in glycosyltransferase reactions in metabolism.

Functions

UDP-glucose is used in nucleotide sugar metabolism as an activated form of glucose, a substrate for enzymes called glucosyltransferases.[1]

UDP-glucose is a precursor of glycogen and can be converted into UDP-galactose and UDP-glucuronic acid, which can then be used as substrates by the enzymes that make polysaccharides containing galactose and glucuronic acid.

UDP-glucose can also be used as a precursor of sucrose, lipopolysaccharides and glycosphingolipids.

gollark: What were the solutions for?

gollark: It's some OOP modelling diagrams nonsense.

gollark: What requirement for subroutines?

gollark: Sure, but I'm on my phone, surprisingly without a befunge interpreter.

gollark: ... Why is the wiki asking me to guess the output of some Befunge?
