Name: | Uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description | Uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine or UDP-GlcNAc is a nucleotide sugar and a coenzyme in metabolism. It is used by glycosyltransferases to transfer N-acetylglucosamine residues to substrates. D-Glucosamine is made naturally in the form of glucosamine-6-phosphate, and is the biochemical precursor of all nitrogen-containing sugars. Specifically, glucosamine-6-phosphate is synthesized from fructose 6-phosphate and glutamine as the first step of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway. The end-product of this pathway is UDP-GlcNAc, which is then used for making glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

- General function:
- Involved in magnesium ion binding
- Specific function:
- Catalyzes the transfer of the GlcNAc-1-phosphate moiety from UDP-GlcNAc onto the carrier lipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P), yielding GlcNAc-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenyl (GlcNAc-PP- C55). It is the first lipid-linked intermediate involved in enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) synthesis and an acceptor for the addition of subsequent sugars to complete the biosynthesis of O-antigen. The apparent affinity of WecA for the polyisoprenyl phosphate substrates increases with the polyisoprenyl chain length. WecA is unable to utilize dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P)
