Enzyme Commission Number
EC 2.7.7.23
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
UTP + N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate = diphosphate + UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine
Systematic Name
UTP:N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase
Function
Part of the pathway for acetamido sugar biosynthesis in bacteria and archaea. The enzyme from several bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Haemophilus influenzae) has been shown to be bifunctional and also to possess the activity of EC 2.3.1.157, glucosamine-1-phosphate N-acetyltransferase . The enzyme from plants and animals is also active toward N-acetyl-α-D-galactosamine 1-phosphate (cf. EC 2.7.7.83, UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine diphosphorylase), while the bacterial enzyme shows low activity toward that substrate.
Other name
