Uridine Diphosphate Glucose Dehydrogenase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1968 5-Hydroxyuridine diphosphate glucose was prepared enzymatically and 5,6-dihydrouridine diphosphate glucose was prepared by the catalytic reduction of UDP-glucose. The effectiveness of these cofactor analogues as substrates for UDP-glucose dehydrogenase was determined.

Biosynthesis of glycogen from uridine diphosphate glucose [PDF]
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1959 Abstract An enzyme which leads to the formation of glycogen according to the equation: UDPG + primer → UDP + glucosyl α (1 → 4) primer has been studied. The optimal conditions for activity were determined with a partially purified preparation from rat muscle.

Uridine Diphosphate Glucose: the Coenzyme of the Galactose–Glucose Phosphate Isomerization [PDF]
Nature, 1950 A PREVIOUS report1 dealt with the enzymatic conversion of galactose-1-phosphate into glucose-1-phosphate and mentioned that a thermostable factor is necessary for the reaction. This factor has now been obtained practically pure, and for reasons given below will be referred to as uridine diphosphate glucose.

Uridine Diphosphate-4-Keto-Glucose, an Intermediate in the Uridine Diphosphate-Galactose-4-Epimerase Reaction [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1971 When UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2) from Escherichia coli is incubated with UDP-galactose, then reduced with NaB 3 H 4 , label is found in UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose.

Chemical Oxidation of Uridine Diphosphate-Glucose to Uridine Diphosphate-Glucuronic Acid [PDF]
Nature, 1961 THE importance of uronic acids in carbohydrate metabolism has only recently begun to be elucidated. The metabolism of inositol and ascorbate is known to involve uronic acid intermediates1,2, and nucleotide-bound glucuronic acid has been implicated in hyaluronic acid synthesis3.

Nucleoside Diphosphate-sugar 4-Epimerases I. Uridine Diphosphate Glucose 4-Epimerase of Wheat Germ [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1969 Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2) has been purified over 1000-fold from extracts of wheat germ by MnCl(2) treatment, (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fractionation, Sephadex column chromatography, and adsorption onto and elution from calcium ...

Insights from Structure-Based Simulations into the Persulfidation of Uridine Diphosphate-Glycosyltransferase71c5 Facilitating the Reversible Inactivation of Abscisic Acid. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciThe action of abscisic acid (ABA) is closely related to its level in plant tissues. Uridine diphosphate-glycosyltransferase71c5 (UGT71C5) was characterized as a major UGT enzyme to catalyze the formation of the ABA-glucose ester (ABA-GE), a reversible ...

Uridine Diphosphate Glucose Pyrophosphorylase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1969 Abstract The crystalline enzyme uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase from calf liver has been shown to be polydisperse. The more rapidly sedimenting components that are present have been shown to be multimers of the basic pyrophosphorylase molecule.

Reduced Hepatic Bilirubin Uridine Diphosphate Glucuronyl Transferase and Uridine Diphosphate Glucose Dehydrogenase Activity in the Human Fetus [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1978 Hepatic bilirubin uridine diphosphate glucuronyl transferase (UDPG-T) activity was 0.14 and 0.22 units in two fetuses aged 17 and 22 weeks, respectively, and less than 0.1 unit in 15 fetuses, aged 8--19 weeks compared to 0.68--1.99 units in 21 normal adults.
