Nucleotide sugar

A nucleotide sugar carries an activated sugar linked to a nucleotide-containing group. It supports selective glycosyl transfer; donor identity alone does not specify the linkage or final glycan structure.

UDP-glucuronic acid is an activated donor containing a glucuronic acid residue linked to UDP. Transfer requires an appropriate glycosyltransferase and acceptor; access to the correct compartment can be limiting.

CMP-sialic acid is an activated donor containing a sialic acid residue linked to CMP. Transfer requires an appropriate glycosyltransferase and acceptor; access to the correct compartment can be limiting.

ADP-glucose is an activated donor containing a glucose residue linked to ADP. Transfer requires an appropriate glycosyltransferase and acceptor; access to the correct compartment can be limiting.

GDP-fucose is an activated donor containing a fucose residue linked to GDP. Transfer requires an appropriate glycosyltransferase and acceptor; access to the correct compartment can be limiting.

GDP-mannose is an activated donor containing a mannose residue linked to GDP. Transfer requires an appropriate glycosyltransferase and acceptor; access to the correct compartment can be limiting.

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine is an activated donor containing a N-acetylglucosamine residue linked to UDP. Transfer requires an appropriate glycosyltransferase and acceptor; access to the correct compartment can be limiting.

UDP-galactose is an activated donor containing a galactose residue linked to UDP. Transfer requires an appropriate glycosyltransferase and acceptor; access to the correct compartment can be limiting.

UDP-glucose is an activated donor containing a glucose residue linked to UDP. Transfer requires an appropriate glycosyltransferase and acceptor; access to the correct compartment can be limiting.
