Description | Tdp-glucose, also known as dtdp-glucose dianion or dtdp-A-D-glucose, is a member of the class of compounds known as pyrimidine nucleotide sugars. Pyrimidine nucleotide sugars are pyrimidine nucleotides bound to a saccharide derivative through the terminal phosphate group. Tdp-glucose is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Tdp-glucose can be found in a number of food items such as bog bilberry, red rice, grass pea, and highbush blueberry, which makes tdp-glucose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Tdp-glucose exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. |
