Common NameUDP-α-D-galactose
DescriptionUDP-α-D-galactose (UDPgal) is a nucleoside diphosphate sugar which can be epimerized into UDPglucose for entry into the mainstream of carbohydrate metabolism. UDPgal is a pivotal compound in the metabolism of galactose. UDPgal is a product of the galactose-L-phosphate uridyl transferase (EC 2.7.7.10) reaction but may also be made from Glucose-L-P, involving uridine diphosphate galactose-4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2). UDPgal is the necessary galactosyl donor of galactose in the metabolism to incorporate it into complex oligosaccharides, glycoproteins and glycolipids (galactosides). (PMID: 2122114 , 7671968 )
