The structure of UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 24470206
Function
[WECB_METJA] Catalyzes the reversible epimerization at C-2 of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) to produce UDP-N-acetylmannosamine (UDP-ManNAc), the activated donor of ManNAc residues (By similarity).
