UDP glucose is not used in ?: (A) Uronic acid pathway, (B) Glycogen synthesis, (C) Galactose metabolism, (D) HMP shunt
Answer is D. Ans. is 'd' i.e., HMP shuntUDP-glucose is derived from glucose-6-phosphate glucose-l-phosphate.The major fate of UDP-glucose is the synthesis of glycogen.Other uses of UDP-glucose are -i) In uronic acid (glucoronic acid) cycle to generate UDP glucuronate.ii) Galactose metabolismiii) Glycosylation of proteins, lipids and proteoglycans.
