Uridine Diphosphate N-Acetylglucosamine

Known as: Diphosphate N-Acetylglucosamine, Uridine, Uridine Diphosphate N-Acetylglucosamine [Chemical/Ingredient], Uridine Diphospho N Acetylglucosamine 
Serves as the biological precursor of insect chitin, of muramic acid in bacterial cell walls, and of sialic acids in mammalian glycoproteins.
