UDP-g acid
UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) is a key nucleotide sugar essential for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and other polysaccharides. It also serves as a metabolic precursor in the synthesis of ascorbic acid in many animals, making it a critical reagent for studying carbohydrate metabolism and biosynthesis pathways in vitro.
