'''Uridine diphosphate''', abbreviated '''UDP''', is a [[nucleotide diphosphate]]. It is an [[ester]] of [[pyrophosphoric acid]] with the [[nucleoside]] [[uridine]]. UDP consists of the [[pyrophosphate]] [[Functional group|group]], the [[pentose]] [[sugar]] [[ribose]], and the [[nucleobase]] [[uracil]].

UDP is an important factor in [[glycogenesis]]. Before [[glucose]] can be stored as [[glycogen]] in the [[liver]] and [[muscles]], the [[enzyme]] [[UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase]] forms a [[UDP-glucose]] unit by combining glucose 1-phosphate with [[uridine triphosphate]], cleaving a [[pyrophosphate]] ion in the process. Then, the enzyme [[glycogen synthase]] combines UDP-glucose units to form a glycogen chain. The UDP molecule is cleaved from the glucose ring during this process and can be reused by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase.<ref>[https://www.uic.edu/classes/phar/phar332/Clinical_Cases/carbo%20metab%20cases/glycogen%20metab/Glycogen%20biochemistry.htm Glycogen Biochemistry]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://dwb.unl.edu/Teacher/NSF/C10/C10Links/mills.edu/RESEARCH/FUTURES/JOHNB/pathways/802.html |title=Biochemistry Pathways: Polysaccharide Synthesis |access-date=2014-09-20 |archive-date=2015-04-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150410092041/http://dwb.unl.edu/Teacher/NSF/C10/C10Links/mills.edu/RESEARCH/FUTURES/JOHNB/pathways/802.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
