 Use of UDP-glucosamine disodium


UDP-glucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) disodium is a substrate for O-GlcNAc transferase, which catalyzes the attachment of O-GlcNAc to proteins. O-GlcNAcase catalyzes the removal of O-GlcNAc from proteins. UDP-glucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) disodium is the end product of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, which is regulated primarily by glucose-6-phosphate-Glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT)[1].
