DescriptionUDP-D-galactose, also known as UDP galactose or udpgal, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine nucleotide sugars. These are pyrimidine nucleotides bound to a saccharide derivative through the terminal phosphate group. UDP-D-galactose is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). UDP-D-galactose may be a unique S. cerevisiae (yeast) metabolite.
