Definition
Uridine diphosphate xylose is important intermediate in the Nucleotide sugars metabolism and chondroitin sulfate biosynthesis (KEGG). The decarboxylation product of UDPglucuronic acid, which is used for formation of the xylosides of seryl hydroxyl groups in mucoprotein synthesis.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine ribonucleoside diphosphates. These are pyrimidine ribonucleotides with diphosphate group linked to the ribose moiety.
