Usage

General Description

Uridine 5'-diphosphoglucose-[glucose-1-3H] is a radioactive tracer molecule used in biochemistry and molecular biology research. It is a modified form of uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) that contains a radioactive hydrogen isotope (tritium) attached to the carbon-3 position of the glucose molecule. This tracer is commonly employed to study carbohydrate metabolism and the synthesis of glycogen and other complex sugars in cells. It provides a way to track the incorporation of glucose into various cellular macromolecules, helping researchers to understand the pathways and mechanisms involved in sugar metabolism. The radioactive nature of the molecule allows for sensitive detection and quantification of its movement within biological systems, making it a valuable tool for investigating metabolic processes.
