The molecule is dianion of UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine arising from deprotonation of both free diphosphate OH groups; major species at pH 7.3. It has a role as a human metabolite and a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite. It is a nucleotide-sugar oxoanion and an UDP-monosaccharide(2-). It is a conjugate base of an UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine.
