| Uridine 5'-diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) is a nucleotide sugar. It is synthesized from glucose via the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). UDP-GlcNAc is transported actively into Golgi, nucleotide sugar transporter (NST). The levels of UDP-GlcNAc is modulated by the concentration of nutrients exposed to the cell. Synonyms: UDP-GlcNAc, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, UDPAG CAS No: 91183-98-1 Molecular Formula: C17H25N3O17P2Na2 Solubility: Colorless, clear to slightly hazy and complete at 50mg/ml in dH2O. % Water (3 MOLES/MOLE): 8 Solvent Content (GC): 5% Sodium (Na) anhydrous: 6.7-7.4% Phosphorus (P) anhydrous: 9.3-9.7% Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20C. Stable for 12 months at -20C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. |
