N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase 1 Encodes a protein that functions as an N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc). This is an essential precursor for glycolipid and glycoprotein synthesis and is also used for regulatory protein modification in signaling pathways. The enzyme can also catalyze the reverse reaction using both UDP-GlcNAc and the less common UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine as substrates. | 1 | + | View |
