Uridine 5′-diphosphate sodium salt, abbreviated as UDP-Na, is a salt form of Uridine 5′-diphosphate (UDP), with a sodium ion (Na+) associated with it to improve its solubility in aqueous solutions. UDP is a nucleotide that plays a role in various cellular processes, particularly in nucleic acid metabolism and as a precursor for the biosynthesis of important molecules like UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose. Uridine 5′-diphosphate sodium salt is also involved in numerous biochemical pathways, including glycosylation, cell signaling, nucleic acid metabolism, and energy transfer. Specifically, it is an endogenous P2Y receptor agonist and an activator of P2Y6 and P2Y12. Overall, Uridine 5′-diphosphate sodium salt serves as an essential tool in the study of various cellular processes and can be used to investigate enzyme activities, cell signaling pathways, and nucleotide-related mechanisms in biological systems.
