General description

Uridine5′-diphosphoglucose disodium salt is a nucleotide sugar consisting of a uracil base, ribose sugar, and two phosphate groups. [1]

Application

UDP-glucose has been used:
  • as a substrate in the enzymatic production of glycosides and their detection by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. [2]
  • as a substrate in the substrate screening and binding affinity measurements of the human CMP-Sia transporter. [3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

UDP-glucose, acts as a precursor of UDP-galactose and UDP-glucuronate. In addition, it also aids in the biosynthesis of glucose-containing molecules such as oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids in animals and some microorganisms .[1][4] Several studies suggest that UDP-Glucose has the potential to act as a signaling molecule in plants beyond its classical metabolic functions .[5] Uridine-5′-diphosphoglucose acts as an agonist to the purinergic receptor P2Y14 G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) receptor, involved in the activation of dendritic cells and glial cells.[6] It can also activate G protein-coupled receptor 17 (GPR17) thereby inducing oligodendrocyte differentiation.[7]

Other Notes

Stimulates the reduction of methylcoenzyme M in cell-free extracts of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum[8]
