| Bioactivity | Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid (UDP-α-D-glucuronic acid) is a cofactor that is formed by the catalytic activity of UDP-glucose dehydrogenase. Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid is a central precursor in sugar nucleotide biosynthesis and common substrate for C4-epimerases and decarboxylases releasing UDP-galacturonic acid (UDP-GalA) and UDP-pentose products, respectively. Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid as a glucuronic acid donor, can be used for for the research of the conjugation of bilirubin in the endoplasmic recticulum[1][2]. |
