A Rapid and Efficient Luminescence-based Method for Assaying Phosphoglycosyltransferase Enzymes [PDF]
, 2016 Phosphoglycosyltransferases (PGTs) are families of integral membrane proteins with intriguingly diverse architectures. These enzymes function to initiate many important biosynthetic pathways including those leading to peptidoglycan, N-linked ...

Stimulation of steroid glucuronidation by uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine and by microsomal disruption [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1977 Glucuronidation of oestrone and of oestradiol in microsomal fractions was markedly and significantly stimulated by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and by ultrasonication: Triton X-100 also stimulated. This is consistent with compartmentation of UDP-glucuronyl-transferase. Stimulation by UDP-N-acetylglucosamine may be physiologically significant.

Genome-wide analysis of the UDP-glucose dehydrogenase gene family in Arabidopsis, a key enzyme for matrix polysaccharides in cell walls [PDF]
, 2007 Arabidopsis cell walls contain large amounts of pectins and hemicelluloses, which are predominantly synthesized via the common precursor UDP-glucuronic acid.

Characterization of Yeast Yea4p, a Uridine Diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine Transporter Localized in the Endoplasmic Reticulum and Required for Chitin Synthesis [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000 Chitin is an essential cell wall component, synthesis of which is regulated throughout the cell cycle in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We cloned an S. cerevisiae gene, YEA4, whose product is homologous to the Kluyveromyces lactis uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) transporter.

Protocol for quantification of UDP-GlcNAc using an enzymatic microplate assay
STAR ProtocolsSummary: Uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) is the end product of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway and the substrate for protein O-linked N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation). Here, we present a protocol for the quantification
