  4. UDP-xylose

UDP-xylose is an endogenous sugar nucleotide and a catalytic substrate of UDP-xylose synthase (UXS). UDP-xylose is a sugar donor for the synthesis of glycoproteins, polysaccharides, various metabolites and oligosaccharides in plants, vertebrates and fungi, and participates in the synthesis of proteoglycans as a glycosyl donor. UDP-xylose participates in the regulation of the synthesis of extracellular matrix components and can be used to study the mechanism of proteoglycan biosynthesis in glycobiology and related diseases (such as connective tissue diseases)[1][2].

At equivalent molar concentrations, both the salt and free forms of a compound exhibit comparable biological activity. Nevertheless, the salt form (UDP-xylose disodium) usually boasts enhanced water solubility and stability.

Description

UDP-xylose is an endogenous sugar nucleotide and a catalytic substrate of UDP-xylose synthase (UXS). UDP-xylose is a sugar donor for the synthesis of glycoproteins, polysaccharides, various metabolites and oligosaccharides in plants, vertebrates and fungi, and participates in the synthesis of proteoglycans as a glycosyl donor. UDP-xylose participates in the regulation of the synthesis of extracellular matrix components and can be used to study the mechanism of proteoglycan biosynthesis in glycobiology and related diseases (such as connective tissue diseases)[1][2].

In Vitro

UDP-xylose can be generated from UDP-Glc in recombinant yeast cytoplasmic extracts catalyzed by AtUGD1 and AtUXS3[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
