4-Nitrocatechol
4-Nitrocatechol is the by-product of the hydroxylation of 4-Nitrophenol by the human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1. This reaction is a useful metabolic marker for the presence of functional cytochrome P450 2E1 in mammalian cell microsomes. Hepatic and extrahepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 isozymes further catalyze the reduction of p-nitrocatechol to p-aminophenol.

Estrone 3-sulfate
Estrone sulfate is a sulfated estrone derivative. Estrone sulfate acts as a long-lived reservoir that can be converted as needed to the more active estradiol (from estrone via 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase). Estrone Sulfate (E1S) is the most abundant circulating estrogen in non-pregnant women as well as normal men. Estrone is primarily synthesized from estrone sulfate. Estrone is an estrogenic hormone secreted by the ovaries and adipose tissues. Estrone is one of the three estrogens found in humans. The other two are estriol and estradiol. Estrone is the least prevalent of the three. Estradiol plays a critical role on reproductive and sexual functioning in women and it also affects other organs including the bones. Estriol is an estrogen that is prevalent primarily during pregnancy. [HMDB] Estrone sulfate is a sulfated estrone derivative.

Clemastine
Clemastine is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an ethanolamine-derivative, first generation histamine H1 antagonist used in hay fever, rhinitis, allergic skin conditions, and pruritus. It causes drowsiness. [PubChem]Clemastine is a selective histamine H1 antagonist and binds to the histamine H1 receptor. This blocks the action of endogenous histamine, which subsequently leads to temporary relief of the negative symptoms brought on by histamine.

UDP-α-D-N-Acetylglucosamine disodium
Uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine (uridine 5-diphosphate-GlcNAc, or UDP-Glc-NAc) is an acetylated aminosugar nucleotide. UDP-GlcNAc is the donor substrate for modification of nucleocytoplasmic proteins at serine and threonine residues with N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc). Nutrient sensing in mammals is done through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HSP), which produces uridine 5-diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-Glc-NAc) as its end product. Mammals respond to nutrient excess by activating O-GlcNAcylation (addition of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine). O-GlcNAc addition (and removal) is key to histone remodeling, transcription, proliferation, apoptosis, and proteasomal degradation. This nutrient-responsive signaling pathway also modulates important cellular pathways, including the insulin signaling cascade in. Alterations in O-GlcNAc metabolism are associated with various human diseases including diabetes mellitus and neurodegeneration. (PMID: 16317114) Due to the chemical makeup of UDP-GlcNAc, it is well positioned to serve as a glucose sensor in that it is a high-energy compound that requires and/or responds to glucose, amino acid, fatty acid and nucleotide metabolism for synthesis. Elevated levels of O-GlcNAc have an effect on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. (PMID: 12678487). Uridine 5-diphosphate-GlcNAc (UDP-Glc-NAc )respond to nutrient excess to activate O-GlcNAcylation (addition of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine) in the hexosamine signaling pathway (HSP).

Medrysone
Medrysone is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a corticosteroid used in ophthalmology. [Wikipedia]There is no generally accepted explanation for the mechanism of action of ocular corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2. Initially, the drug binds to the glucocorticoid receptor in the cytosol. This migrates to the nucleus and binds to genetic elements which cause activation and repression of the involved genes in the inflammatory pathway.

1,3-Benzenediol
1,3-Benzenediol, also known as resorcin or m-hydroquinone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as resorcinols. Resorcinols are compounds containing a resorcinol moiety, which is a benzene ring bearing two hydroxyl groups at positions 1 and 3. 1,3-Benzenediol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 1,3-Benzenediol is a creamy, hawthorn, and musty tasting compound. 1,3-Benzenediol has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, cereals and cereal products, coffee and coffee products, eggplants, and java plums. This could make 1,3-benzenediol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 1,3-Benzenediol is a potentially toxic compound. In addition, exogenous ochronosis is associated with prolonged exposure to resorcinol . Data regarding the specific mechanisms of action of resorcinol does not appear to be readily accessible in the literature. Nevertheless, the role played by iodide ions in the irreversible inactivation of the enzymes is not yet fully elucidated . Resorcinol works by helping to remove hard, scaly, or roughened skin. In particular, it appears that resorcinol indicated for treating acne, dermatitis, or eczema in various skin care topical applications and peels revolves around the compounds ability to precipitate cutaneous proteins from the treated skin . In LPO and TPO, the resulting π-cation radical of the porphyrin can isomerize to a radical cation with the radical in an aromatic side chain of the enzyme . In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that resorcinol can inhibit peroxidases in the thyroid and subsequently block the synthesis of thyroid hormones and cause goiter . Present in roasted barley, cane molasses, coffee, beer and wine. Flavouring ingredient. 1,3-Benzenediol is found in many foods, some of which are cereals and cereal products, coffee and coffee products, alcoholic beverages, and java plum.

Ascorbic acid 2-sulfate
Ascorbic acid 2-sulfate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as butenolides. These are dihydrofurans with a carbonyl group at the C2 carbon atom. Ascorbic acid 2-sulfate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ascorbic acid 2-sulfate is a metabolite of vitamin C. Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid or L-ascorbate, is an essential nutrient for humans and certain other animal species. In living organisms, ascorbate acts as an antioxidant by protecting the body against oxidative stress. It is also a cofactor in at least eight enzymatic reactions including several collagen synthesis reactions that, when dysfunctional, cause the most severe symptoms of scurvy (Wikipedia).

Nicotinic acid mononucleotide
Nicotinic acid mononucleotide, also known as nicotinate ribonucleotide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nicotinic acid nucleotides. These are pyridine nucleotides in which the pyridine base is nicotinic acid or a derivative thereof. Nicotinic acid mononucleotide is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Nicotinic acid mononucleotide an intermediate in the cofactor biosynthesis and the nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism pathways. It is a substrate for nicotinamide riboside kinase, ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase, nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase, 5-nucleotidase, nicotinate-nucleotide pyrophosphorylase, and 5(3)-deoxyribonucleotidase. Nicotinic acid mononucleotide is an intermediate in the metabolism of Nicotinate and nicotinamide. It is a substrate for Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2, Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1, Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 3, Cytosolic 5-nucleotidase IA, Cytosolic 5-nucleotidase IB, Nicotinate-nucleotide pyrophosphorylase, 5(3)-deoxyribonucleotidase (cytosolic type), Cytosolic purine 5-nucleotidase, Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 2, Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 3, 5-nucleotidase, 5(3)-deoxyribonucleotidase (mitochondrial) and Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 1. [HMDB] NaMN is the most common mononucleotide intermediate (a hub) in NAD biogenesis. For example, in E. coli all three pyridine precursors are converted into NaMN (Table 1 and Figure 3(a)). Qa produced by the de novo Asp–DHAP pathway (genes nadB and nadA) is converted into NaMN by QAPRT (gene nadC). Salvage of both forms of niacin proceeds via NAPRT (gene pncB) either directly upon or after deamidation by NMDSE (gene pncA). Overall, more than 90\% of approximately 680 analyzed bacterial genomes contain at least one of the pathways leading to the formation of NaMN. Most of them (∼480 genomes) have the entire set of nadBAC genes for NaMN de novo synthesis from Asp that are often clustered on the chromosome and/or are co-regulated by the same transcription factors (see Section 7.08.3.1.2). Among the examples provided in Table 1, F. tularensis (Figure 4(c)) has all three genes of this de novo pathway forming a single operon-like cluster and supporting the growth of this organism in the absence of any pyridine precursors in the medium. More than half the genomes with the Asp–DHAP pathway also contain a deamidating niacin salvage pathway (genes pncAB) as do many representatives of the α-, β-, and γ-Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacillus/Clostridium group. As already emphasized, the genomic reconstruction approach provides an assessment of the metabolic potential of an organism, which may or may not be realized under given conditions. For example, E. coli and B. subtilis can utilize both de novo and PncAB Nm salvage pathways under the same growth conditions, whereas in M. tuberculosis (having the same gene pattern) the latter pathway was considered nonfunctional, so that the entire NAD pool is generated by the de novo NadABC route. However, a recent study demonstrated the functional activity of the Nm salvage pathway in vivo, under hypoxic conditions in infected macrophages.221 This study also implicated the two downstream enzymes of NAD synthesis (NAMNAT and NADSYN) as attractive chemotherapeutic targets to treat acute and latent forms of tuberculosis. In approximately 100 species, including many Cyanobacteria (e.g., Synechococcus spp.), Bacteroidetes (e.g., Chlorobium spp.) and Proteobacteria (e.g., Caulobacter crescentus, Zymomonas mobilis, Desulfovibrio spp., and Shewanella spp. representing α-, β-, δ-, and γ-groups, respectively) the Asp–DHAP pathway is the only route to NAD biogenesis. Among them, nearly all Helicobacter spp. (except H. hepaticus), contain only the two genes nadA and nadC but lack the first gene of the pathway (nadB), which is a likely subject of nonorthologous gene replacement. One case of NadB (ASPOX) replacement by the ASPDH enzyme in T. maritima (and methanogenic archaea) was discussed in Section 7.08.2.1. However, no orthologues of the established ASPDH could be identified in Helicobacter spp. as well as in approximately 15 other diverse bacterial species that have the nadAC but lack the nadB gene (e.g., all analyzed Corynebacterium spp. except for C. diphtheriae). Therefore, the identity of the ASPOX or ASPDH enzyme in these species is still unknown, representing one of the few remaining cases of ‘locally missing genes’220 in the NAD subsystem. All other bacterial species contain either both the nadA and nadB genes (plus nadC) or none. In a limited number of bacteria (∼20 species), mostly in the two distant groups of Xanthomonadales (within γ-Proteobacteria) and Flavobacteriales (within Bacteroidetes), the Asp–DHAP pathway of Qa synthesis is replaced by the Kyn pathway. As described in Section 7.08.2.1.2, four out of five enzymes (TRDOX, KYNOX, KYNSE, and HADOX) in the bacterial version of this pathway are close homologues of the respective eukaryotic enzymes, whereas the KYNFA gene is a subject of multiple nonorthologous replacements. Although the identity of one alternative form of KYNFA (gene kynB) was established in a group of bacteria that have a partial Kyn pathway for Trp degradation to anthranilate (e.g., in P. aeruginosa or B. cereus57), none of the known KYNFA homologues are present in Xanthomonadales or Flavobacteriales. In a few species (e.g., Salinispora spp.) a complete gene set of the Kyn pathway genes co-occurs with a complete Asp–DHAP pathway. Further experiments would be required to establish to what extent and under what conditions these two pathways contribute to Qa formation. As discussed, the QAPRT enzyme is shared by both de novo pathways, and a respective gene, nadC is always found in the genomes containing one or the other pathway. Similarly, gene nadC always co-occurs with Qa de novo biosynthetic genes with one notable exception of two groups of Streptococci, S. pneumonaie and S. pyogenes. Although all other members of the Lactobacillales group also lack the Qa de novo biosynthetic machinery and rely entirely on niacin salvage, only these two human pathogens contain a nadC gene. The functional significance of this ‘out of context’ gene is unknown, but it is tempting to speculate that it may be involved in a yet-unknown pathway of Qa salvage from the human host. Among approximately 150 bacterial species that lack de novo biosynthesis genes and rely on deamidating salvage of niacin (via NAPRT), the majority (∼100) are from the group of Firmicutes. Such a functional variant (illustrated for Staphylococcus aureus in Figure 4(b)) is characteristic of many bacterial pathogens, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative (e.g., Brucella, Bordetella, and Campylobacter spp. from α-, β-, and δ-Proteobacteria, Borrelia, and Treponema spp. from Spirochaetes). Most of the genomes in this group contain both pncA and pncB genes that are often clustered on the chromosome and/or are co-regulated (see Section 7.08.3.1.2). In some cases (e.g., within Mollicutes and Spirochaetales), only the pncB, but not the pncA gene, can be reliably identified, suggesting that either of these species can utilize only the deamidated form of niacin (Na) or that some of them contain an alternative (yet-unknown) NMASE. Although the nondeamidating conversion of Nm into NMN (via NMPRT) appears to be present in approximately 50 bacterial species (mostly in β- and γ-Proteobacteria), it is hardly ever the only route of NAD biogenesis in these organisms. The only possible exception is observed in Mycoplasma genitalium and M. pneumoniae that contain the nadV gene as the only component of pyridine mononucleotide biosynthetic machinery. In some species (e.g., in Synechocystes spp.), the NMPRT–NMNAT route is committed primarily to the recycling of endogenous Nm. On the other hand, in F. tularensis (Figure 4(c)), NMPRT (gene nadV) together with NMNAT (of the nadM family) constitute the functional nondeamidating Nm salvage pathway as it supports the growth of the nadE′-mutant on Nm but not on Na (L. Sorci et al., unpublished). A similar nondeamidating Nm salvage pathway implemented by NMPRT and NMNAT (of the nadR family) is present in some (but not all) species of Pasteurellaceae in addition to (but never instead of) the RNm salvage pathway (see below), as initially demonstrated for H. ducreyi.128 A two-step conversion of NaMN into NAD via a NaAD intermediate (Route I in Figure 2) is present in the overwhelming majority of bacteria. The signature enzyme of Route I, NAMNAT of the NadD family is present in nearly all approximately 650 bacterial species that are expected to generate NaMN via de novo or salvage pathways (as illustrated by Figures 3(a) and 3(b)). All these species, without a single exception, also contain NADSYN (encoded by either a short or a long form of the nadE gene), which is required for this route. The species that lack the NadD/NadE signature represent several relatively rare functional variants, including: 1. Route I of NAD synthesis (NaMN → NaAD → NAD) variant via a bifunctional NAMNAT/NMNAT enzyme of the NadM family is common for archaea (see Section 7.08.3.2), but it appears to be present in only a handful of bacteria, such as Acinetobacter, Deinococcus, and Thermus groups. Another unusual feature of the latter two groups is the absence of the classical NADKIN, a likely subject of a nonorthologous replacement that remains to be elucidated. 2. Route II of NAD synthesis (NaMN → NMN → NAD). This route is implemented by a combination of the NMNAT of either the NadM family (as in F. tularensis) or the NadR family (as in M. succinoproducens and A. succinogenes) with NMNSYN of the NadE′ family. The case of F. tularensis described in Section 7.08.2.4 is illustrated in Figure 3(b). The rest of the NAD biosynthetic machinery in both species from the Pasteurellaceae group, beyond the shared Route II, is remarkably different from that in F. tularensis. Instead of de novo biosynthesis, they harbor a Na salvage pathway via NAPRT encoded by a pncB gene that is present in a chromosomal cluster with nadE′. Neither of these two genes are present in other Pasteurellaceae that lack the pyridine carboxylate amidation machinery (see below). 3. Salvage of RNm (RNm → NMN → NAD). A genomic signature of this pathway, a combination of the PnuC-like transporter and a bifunctional NMNAT/RNMKIN of the NadR family, is present in many Enterobacteriaceae and in several other diverse species (e.g., in M. tuberculosis). However, in H. influenzae (Figure 3(d)) and related members of Pasteurellaceae, it is the only route of NAD biogenesis. As shown in Table 1, H. influenzae as well as many other members of this group have lost nearly all components of the rich NAD biosynthetic machinery that are present in their close phylogenetic neighbors (such as E. coli and many other Enterobacteriaceae). This pathway is an ultimate route for utilization of the so called V-factors (NADP, NAD, NMN, or RNm) that are required to support growth of H. influenzae. It was established that all other V-factors are degraded to RNm by a combination of periplasmic- and membrane-associated hydrolytic enzymes.222 Although PnuC was initially considered an NMN transporter,223 its recent detailed analysis in both H. influenzae and Salmonella confirmed that its actual physiological function is in the uptake of RNm coupled with the phosphorylation of RNM to NMN by RNMKIN.17,148,224 As already mentioned, H. ducreyi and several other V-factor-independent members of the Pasteurellaceae group (H. somnus, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, and Actinomycetemcomitans) harbor the NMNAT enzyme (NadV) that allows them to grow in the presence of Nm (but not Na) in the medium (Section 7.08.2.2). 4. Uptake of the intact NAD. Several groups of phylogenetically distant intracellular endosymbionts with extremely truncated genomes contain only a single enzyme, NADKIN, from the entire subsystem. Among them are all analyzed species of the Wolbachia, Rickettsia, and Blochmannia groups. These species are expected to uptake and utilize the intact NAD from their host while retaining the ability to convert it into NADP. Among all analyzed bacteria, only the group of Chlamydia does not have NADKIN and depends on the salvage of both NAD and NADP via a unique uptake system.157 A comprehensive genomic reconstruction of the metabolic potential (gene annotations and asserted pathways) across approximately 680 diverse bacterial genomes sets the stage for the accurate cross-genome projection and prediction of regulatory mechanisms that control the realization of this potential in a variety of species and growth conditions. In the next section, we summarize the recent accomplishments in the genomic reconstruction of NAD-related regulons in bacteria. Nicotinic acid mononucleotide. CAS Common Chemistry.

Phenol sulfate
Phenol sulphate, also known as phenylsulfate or aryl sulphate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylsulfates. Phenylsulfates are compounds containing a sulfate group conjugated to a phenyl group. In normal humans, phenol sulphate is primarily a gut-derived metabolite that arises from the activity of the bacterial enzyme tyrosine phenol-lyase, which is responsible for the synthesis of phenol from dietary tyrosine (PMID: 31015435). Phenol sulphate can also arise from the consumption of phenol or from phenol poisoning (PMID: 473790). Phenol sulphate is produced from the conjugation of phenol with sulphate in the liver. In particular, phenol sulphate can be biosynthesized from phenol and phosphoadenosine phosphosulfate through the action of the enzyme sulfotransferase 1A1 in the liver. Phenol sulphate can be found in most mammals (mice, rats, sheep, dogs, humans) and likely most animals. Phenol sulphate is a uremic toxin (PMID: 30068866). It is a protein-bound uremic solute that induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and decreases glutathione levels, rendering cells vulnerable to oxidative stress (PMID: 29474405). In experimental models of diabetes, phenol sulphate administration has been shown to induce albuminuria and podocyte damage. In a diabetic patient cohort, phenol sulphate levels were found to significantly correlate with basal and predicted 2-year progression of albuminuria in patients with microalbuminuria (PMID: 31015435).
Arsenate
Arsenate is an ion consisting of arsenic. An arsenate is any compound containing the arsenate ion AsO43−. Arsenates are also referred to as pentavalent arsenic [As(V)] as the arsenic atom in arsenate has a valence of five. Arsenates can be both salts and esters of arsenic acid. Arsenate can be used as an indicator of mineral deposits, as a result of transition metals reacting with it to form bright colours. These mineral blooms can be used to find nickel (annabergite), copper (chalcophyllite), and cobalt (erythrite) arsenide ores. Arsenate is a chemical analogue of phosphate due to arsenic and phosphorous being part of the same group (pnictogens). Because of the similarities, arsenate can be taken by phosphate transporters due to imperfect selectivity (PMID: 328484, 8598055). Arsenate is much less toxic than the trivalent form arsenite, which is more mobile in groundwater and soils, and forms strong metal-like interactions with thiol groups in protein cysteine residues and small molecule thiols (PMID: 30852446). The arsenate ion is AsO43−. An arsenate (compound) is any compound that contains this ion.The arsenic atom in arsenate has a valency of 5 and is also known as pentavalent arsenic or As[V].Arsenate resembles phosphate in many respects, since arsenic and phosphorus occur in the same group (column) of the periodic table.

Arsenic
Arsenic(As) is a ubiquitous metalloid found in several forms in food and the environment, such as the soil, air and water. Physiologically, it exists as an ion in the body. The predominant form is inorganic arsenic in drinking water, which is both highly toxic and carcinogenic and rapidly bioavailable. Arsenic is currently one of the most important environmental global contaminants and toxicants, particularly in the developing countries. For decades, very large populations have been and are currently still exposed to inorganic Arsenic through geogenically contaminated drinking water. An increased incidence of disease mediated by this toxicant is the consequence of long-term exposure. In humans chronic ingestion of inorganic arsenic (> 500 mg/L As) has been associated with cardiovascular, nervous, hepatic and renal diseases and diabetes mellitus as well as cancer of the skin, bladder, lung, liver and prostate. Contrary to the earlier view that methylated compounds are innocuous, the methylated metabolites are now recognized to be both toxic and carcinogenic, possibly due to genotoxicity, inhibition of antioxidative enzyme functions, or other mechanisms. Arsenic inhibits indirectly sulfhydryl containing enzymes and interferes with cellular metabolism. Effects involve such phenomena as cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and inhibition of enzymes with antioxidant function. These are all related to nutritional factors directly or indirectly. Nutritional studies both in experimental and epidemiological studies provide convincing evidence that nutritional intervention, including chemoprevention, offers a pragmatic approach to mitigate the health effects of arsenic exposure, particularly cancer, in the relatively resource-poor developing countries. Nutritional intervention, especially with micronutrients, many of which are antioxidants and share the same pathway with Arsenic , appears a host defence against the health effects of arsenic contamination in developing countries and should be embraced as it is pragmatic and inexpensive.

Methylarsonite is found in the arsenate detoxification I pathway. Two molecules of glutathione reacts with methylarsonate to produce glutathione disulfide and methylarsonite. Methylarsonate reductase catalyzes this reaction. Methylarsonite reacts with S-adenosyl-L-methionine to produce S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and dimethylarsinate. Methylarsonite methyltransferase catalyzes this reaction. Methylarsonite is found in the arsenate detoxification I pathway.

3-Oxoalanine
Human lysosomal arylsulfate A (ASA) is a member of the sulfatase family which requires the posttranslational oxidation of thiol group of a cysteine that is conserved among all eukaryotic sulfatases, yielding 2-formylglycine. (PMID: 9521684) [HMDB] Human lysosomal arylsulfate A (ASA) is a member of the sulfatase family which requires the posttranslational oxidation of thiol group of a cysteine that is conserved among all eukaryotic sulfatases, yielding 2-formylglycine. (PMID: 9521684).
Dopamine 4-sulfate
Dopamine 4-sulfate is one of the metabolic products of the endogenous catecholamine dopamine which have also been implicated as intermediate in noradrenaline biosynthesis. In human blood circulation endogenous dopamine exists predominantly in the sulfated form and dopamine sulfate accounts for more than 90\\% of all dopamine. Sulfonation is the most important metabolic pathway that interferes with the binding of dopamine to its receptors. Dopamine-4-O-sulfate has concentrations about a 10th of those of the regioisomer dopamine-3-O-sulfate. It is believed that the vast majority of circulating dopamine sulfate originates in the upper gastrointestinal tract, and indeed that is the main site of expression of the enzyme responsible for its formation. Aryl sulfotransferase (SULT1A3, EC 2.8.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the sulfonation of many endogenous and exogenous phenols and catechols; the most important endogenous substrate is dopamine. SULT1A3 strongly favors the 3-hydroxy group of dopamine over the 4-hydroxy group and may indeed be primarily responsible for the difference between the circulating levels of dopamine sulfates in human blood.

N-Acetylglucosamine 6-sulfate
N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfate is a physiological intermediate during the degradation of keratan sulfate and it is usually hydrolyzed intralysosomally by N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase. (PMID 3161730) [HMDB] N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfate is a physiological intermediate during the degradation of keratan sulfate and it is usually hydrolyzed intralysosomally by N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase.

Uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine
Uridine diphosphate-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) is a sugar donor metabolite, transferring N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc, an O-glycan) from UDP-GalNAc to serine and threonine residues, forming an alpha-anomeric linkage in a reaction catalyzed by enzymes known as UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine: polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases. The addition of GalNAc to serine or threonine represents the first committed step in mucin biosynthesis. O-Glycans impart unique structural features to mucin glycoproteins and numerous membrane receptors, and resistance to thermal change and proteolytic attack in a number of diverse proteins. O-Linked carbohydrate side chains function as ligands for receptors, lymphocyte and leukocyte homing, and as signals for protein sorting (PMID: 12634319). Animal studies suggest that overactivity of the hexosamine pathway, resulting in increased UDP-hexosamines (i.e. UDP-GalNAc) is an important mechanism by which hyperglycemia causes insulin resistance. However, to date, human studies concerning the role of the hexosamine pathway in hyperglycemia-induced insulin resistance are scarce and restricted to measurements of glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) enzyme activity. Both positive and negative correlations between GFAT activity in human muscle tissue from patients with type 2 DM and glucose disposal rate have been reported (PMID: 12414889).
