Up quarks are one of the six flavours of quarks[1]. They are fundimental particles like electrons (and other leptons); which means that they cannot be broken down any further[1][2]. They have a charge of +2/3 and a baryon number of 1/3[1]. They are the smallest quarks and are the main constiuents of protons and neutrons alongside the down quark[1].
