Metabolite: HMDB0015532 (Zinc)
Term: Nucleotide Sugars Metabolism
Definition: there are nine sugar nucleotides and they can be classified depending on the type of the nucleoside forming them: udp-glc, udp-gal, udp-glcnac, udp-glcua, udp- xyl, gdp-man, gdp-fuc and cmp-neunac. in nucleotide sugar metabolism the nucleotide sugars act as donors for sugar residues in the glycosylation reactions that produce polysaccharides.
Parent Term: Biochemical pathway
Parent Definition: A linked series of chemical reactions that occur in a defined order within or between organism cells, and lead to a known function or end product.
