Uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose)(CAT: M070868) is an essential nucleotide sugar involved in various biochemical processes. It acts as a glycosyl donor in the biosynthesis of glycogen, where it facilitates the addition of glucose units to growing glycogen chains. UDP-glucose is also crucial in the synthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and polysaccharides. In addition to its role in carbohydrate metabolism, it serves as a precursor for UDP-glucuronate, which is involved in the detoxification of drugs and metabolic waste. As a central molecule in cellular metabolism, UDP-glucose plays a key part in energy storage, signaling pathways, and structural biochemistry.
