Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid

(Redirected from UDP-glucuronate)

UDP-glucuronic acid is a sugar used in the creation of polysaccharides and is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of ascorbic acid (except in primates and guinea pigs). It also participates in the heme degradation process of human.
