High impact information on UGDH

 

Anatomical context of UGDH

  • Expression of the enzyme in COS-7 cells showed a 3-fold increase in UDP-glucose dehydrogenase activity; also, the C-terminal 23 amino acids was shown not to be necessary for enzyme activity [4].
  • Cadmium did not increase the breakdown of UDPGA by microsomal UDPGA pyrophosphatase but strongly decreased (30-66%) the synthesis of the cofactor in the cytosol by inhibiting UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UDPGDH) [5].
