Description
UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase is an enzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism. It synthesizes UDP-Galactose from Galactose-1-phosphate and UTP.
Unit Definition
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the formation of 1 μmol N-glycan of UDP-Gal from Gal-1-P and UTP per minute at 37 °C.
