Application

Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid trisodium salt has been used in optimization of incubation assay and glucuronidation assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Uridine 5′-diphosphate-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) is a carboxylic acid-formed sugar nucleotide. It participates in the biosynthesis of numerous cell components. UDP-GlcA is a glycosyl donor for glycosyltransferases in the biosynthesis of several cell components like glycosaminoglycans, some N- and O-linked glycans, glycosphingolipids and pectins.

Articles

Glycosyltransferases were initially considered to be specific for a single glycosyl donor and acceptor, which led to the one enzyme-one linkage concept. Subsequent observations have refuted the theory of absolute enzymatic specificity by describing the transfer of analogs of some nucleoside mono- or diphosphate sugar donors.
