Summary
UDP-galactose is a
Nucleotide sugar
that serves as a
Galactose donor
in the
Biosynthesis of glycoproteins
and glycolipids, playing a crucial role in
Cellular Processes
such as
Cell Signaling
and recognition. It is synthesized from galactose-1-phosphate and UTP in a reaction catalyzed by
UDP-galactose Pyrophosphorylase
, and is essential for the proper functioning of the
Leloir Pathway
of
Galactose Metabolism
.
