N-acetylglucosaminyldiphosphoundecaprenol glucosyltransferase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a N-acetylglucosaminyldiphosphoundecaprenol glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.188) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- UDP-glucose + N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyldiphosphoundecaprenol
UDP + beta-D-glucosyl-1,4-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyldiphosphoundecaprenol
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyldiphosphoundecaprenol, whereas its two products are UDP and beta-D-glucosyl-1,4-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyldiphosphoundecaprenol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyldiphosphoundecaprenol 4-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include UDP-D-glucose:N-acetylglucosaminyl pyrophosphorylundecaprenol, glucosyltransferase, uridine, diphosphoglucose-acetylglucosaminylpyrophosphorylundecaprenol, and glucosyltransferase.
