Description | Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) ammonium, formed through the enzymatic action of UDP-glucose dehydrogenase, serves as a crucial cofactor in sugar nucleotide biosynthesis. It acts as a pivotal precursor and a common substrate for C4-epimerases and decarboxylases, which generate UDP-galacturonic acid (UDP-GalA) and UDP-pentose, respectively. Additionally, as a glucuronic acid donor, UDP-GlcA ammonium is utilized in research for studying bilirubin conjugation within the endoplasmic recticulum [1]. |
