Application

UDP has been used as a purinergic agonist to study its effects on absorptive cationic flux in cochlear outer sulcus cells (OSC) and vestibular transitional cells (VTC). UDP has also been used for nucleoside diphosphatase (NDPase) activity assays in rabbit retinae.

Biochem/physiol Actions

P2Y receptor agonist.

Enzyme-histochemical methods for thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) and nucleoside diphosphatase (NDPase) were applied to wholemounted rabbit retinae to demonstrate the shape and distribution of microglial cells in early postnatal and adult animals. At birth, microglial cells were already present in the

Malayamycin A is an unusual bicyclic C-nucleoside, with interesting antiviral, antifungal, and anticancer bioactivity. We report here the discovery and characterization of the biosynthetic pathway to malayamycin by using genome mining of near-identical clusters both from the known producer Streptomyces
