Description
This product is a recombinant fragment of Human UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (UDP-GlcDH, UGDH, EC 1.1.1.22), encompassing residues 1-494. It is designed for structural and biochemical studies, offering a stable and soluble unit that facilitates research into glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis and related pathways.
UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (UDP-GlcDH) is a key enzyme in human metabolism, catalyzing the conversion of UDP-alpha-D-glucose to UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate. This reaction is essential for the biosynthesis of complex glycosaminoglycans, including chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate, which are critical components of the extracellular matrix. The enzyme plays a vital role in embryonic development, brain formation, and neuronal function, as supported by multiple studies (e.g., PubMed:21502315, PubMed:32001716). Its activity is fundamental to cellular processes involving glycosylation and tissue integrity.
