Descriptor uridina difosfato glucosa
Entry term(s) UDP glucosa
UDPG
uridina difosfoglucosa
Scope note: Intermediario clave del metabolismo de los carbohidratos. Sirve como precursor del glucógeno, puede ser metabolizado a UDP galactosa y ácido UDP glucurónico, que pueden incorporarse a polisacáridos tales como la galactosa y el ácido glucurónico. También sirve como precursor de lipopolisacáridos y glicoesfingolípidos.

Scope note: A key intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism. Serves as a precursor of glycogen, can be metabolized into UDPgalactose and UDPglucuronic acid which can then be incorporated into polysaccharides as galactose and glucuronic acid. Also serves as a precursor of sucrose lipopolysaccharides, and glycosphingolipids.
