| Accepted name: |
lipopolysaccharide N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine + lipopolysaccharide = UDP + N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyllipopolysaccharide |
| Other name(s): |
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-lipopolysaccharide N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase; uridine diphosphoacetylglucosamine-lipopolysaccharide acetylglucosaminyltransferase; UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine:lipopolysaccharide N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine:lipopolysaccharide N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Transfers N-acetylglucosaminyl residues to a D-galactose residue in the partially completed lipopolysaccharide core [cf. EC 2.4.1.44 (lipopolysaccharide 3-α-galactosyltransferase), EC 2.4.1.58 (lipopolysaccharide glucosyltransferase I) and EC 2.4.1.73 (lipopolysaccharide glucosyltransferase II)]. |
