Lipopolysaccharide_N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
Lipopolysaccharide N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase
Class of enzymes
In enzymology, a lipopolysaccharide N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.56) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + lipopolysaccharide UDP + N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyllipopolysaccharide
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and lipopolysaccharide, whereas its two products are UDP and N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyllipopolysaccharide.
This enzyme participates in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis and glycan structures - biosynthesis 2.
