Extra Details:: Uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGP) catalyzes glucose activation before glycogen synthesis, synthesizing 1-phosphate glucose and UTP molecules into UDP-glucose (UDPG). UDPG is the main form of activating enzyme in higher plants and animals, and participates in the anabolic metabolism of glycogen, sucrose and cellulose as a glucosyl donor. Uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGP) catalyzes the synthesis of 1-phosphoglucose in the sample into UDP-glucose, and UDP-glucose is catalyzed by the enzyme to produce a color producing substance, which has a maximum absorption peak at about 450 nm. The enzyme activity can be calculated by the increase of OD value at 450 nm.
