It is formed from glucose-1-phosphate and UTP and supplies glucose residues used by glycogenin and glycogen synthase during glycogen formation. UDP-glucose also participates in nucleotide-sugar metabolism, glycosylation, UDP-glucuronic acid production, and glucuronidation, linking glucose metabolism with several important cellular biosynthetic pathways.
