ResumoUridine 5′-diphosphoglucose dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the oxidation of uridine 5′-diphosphoglucose to uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid, has been identified in extracts of calf vitreous hyalocytes. In addition, an enzyme system that degrades uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid to uridine and free glucuronic acid also has been identified. The role of these enzymes in vitreous metabolism is discussed.
