General description

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

Application

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

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 . Several studies suggest that UDP-Glucose has the potential to act as a signaling molecule in plants beyond its classical metabolic functions . 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. It can also activate G protein-coupled receptor 17 (GPR17) thereby inducing oligodendrocyte differentiation.

Various bioactive natural products, like the aminocoumarin antibiotics novobiocin and coumermycin, exhibit an aromatic C-methyl group adjacent to a glycosylated phenolic hydroxyl group. Therefore, tailoring of basic phenolic scaffolds to contain the intricate C-methyl/O-glycosyl motif is of high interest for

Fruits of persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) accumulate large amounts of proanthocyanidins (PAs) in the early stages of development. Astringent (A)-type fruits remain rich in soluble PAs even after they reach full-mature stage, whereas non-astringent (NA)-type fruits lose these compounds before
