Application and Effect

Glycosylation: UDP serves as the sugar donor in glycosylation reactions, where sugars are transferred to proteins, lipids, or other molecules. This process is crucial for the structure and function of these biomolecules.

Nucleic Acid Biosynthesis: UDP is involved in the biosynthesis of nucleic acids, including RNA and DNA. It participates in the formation of nucleotide sugar precursors used for the synthesis of RNA and DNA.

Cell Signaling: UDP-glucose, a derivative of UDP, is involved in cell signaling and energy storage in the form of glycogen.

Drug Metabolism: UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes use UDP-glucuronic acid, another derivative of UDP, to facilitate the metabolism and elimination of various drugs, toxins, and endogenous substances.
