Methods for measuring levels of uridine-diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine and activity of inhibitors thereof

摘要

The present relates to methods for measuring the formation of uridine-diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine in extracts from human and animal tissue or cells in tissue cultures. The present invention also relates to methods for measuring the inhibitory activity of a test compound on uridine-diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine formation in cells. The present invention further relates to methods for measuring the inhibitory activity of a test compound on uridine-diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine formation in a human or an animal.
