Enzyme Information

5.1.3.14
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (non-hydrolyzing).
based on mapping to UniProt Q58899
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine = UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-mannosamine.
-!- This bacterial enzyme catalyzes the reversible interconversion of UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-ManNAc. -!- The latter is used in a variety of bacterial polysaccharide biosyntheses. -!- Cf. EC 3.2.1.183.
