Identification
Name:UDP-Glucuronic acid
DescriptionUDP-Glucuronic acid is an intermediate in polymyxin resistance in E. coli. It is a substrate for UDP-GlcA C-4"-decarboxylase (gene name: arnA) which catalyzes the chemical reaction UDP-D-glucuronate + NAD+ -> UDP-beta-L-threo-pentapyranos-4-ulose + CO2 + NADH. In UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate biosynthesis (from UDP-glucose), UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase converts UDP-alpha-D-glucose to UDP-Glucuronic acid (EcoCyc compound: UDP-GLUCURONATE).
