Comments [?]

FUNCTIONCatalyzes the reversible epimerization at C-2 of UDP-N- acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) and thereby provides bacteria with UDP- N-acetylmannosamine (UDP-ManNAc), the activated donor of ManNAc residues.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine = UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D- mannosamine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17213, ChEBI:CHEBI:57705, ChEBI:CHEBI:68623; EC=5.1.3.14;
PATHWAYBacterial outer membrane biogenesis; enterobacterial common antigen biosynthesis.
SUBUNITHomodimer.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase family.
