Dolichol Phospo-Glucose

Dolichol phospho-glucose (Dol-P-Glu) is an isoprenoid compound (90-100 carbons total) made from dolichol phosphate. It carriers glucose to the site of assembly of oligosaccharides to be used to make N-linked glycoproteins. Dol-P-Glu is made from dolichol phosphate and UDP-glucose.
