Description
Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid ammonium salt is a cofactor used in the initiation of UDP-glucuronosyl transferase assay towards 14C-testosterone. Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid ammonium salt is synthesized from UDPglucose and nicotinamidee adenine dinucleotide intracellularly. Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid ammonium salt is formed by the catalytic activity of UDPglucose dehydrogenase. Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid ammonium salt can act as a glucuronic acid donor. For example, in the conjugation of bilirubin in the endoplasmic recticulum, Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid ammonium salt is a glucuronic acid donor.Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) ammonium is a cofactor in the formation of catalytic activity of UDp-glucose dehydrogenase. Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid (ammonium) is the central precursor of glyconucleotide biosynthesis and is a common substrate for C4 superpolymerase and decarboxylase that release udp-galacturonic acid (UDP-GalA) and UDp-pentose products, respectively. Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid (ammonium) as a donor of glucuronic acid can be used to study the binding of bilirubin in the endoplasmic rectum
