If a person had a shortage of UTP, do you think they would suffer from high blood glucose (hyperglycemia) or low blood glucose (hypoglycemia)?
UTP: Uracil triphosphate it is the energy molecule react with glucose-1-phosphate in the presence of UTP—glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase enzyme which convert it into UDP-glucose and phyrophosphate.
UDP-glucose is the molecule play essential role in Carbohydrate metabolism.example conversion of UDP-glucose and fructose-6-phosphate into sucrose6-phosphate.
According to the information if there is deficiency in UTP then the conversion of glucose to UDP-glucose is stop and it will remain in he blood,where it accumulates and the person is suffering from hyperglycemia.
