GLCNAC1PUT2

Full Name
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine diphosphorylase 2

Keywords
N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase 2; UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine diphosphorylase 2; UTP--glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase 2; ATUAP1; At2g35020; F19I3.25

Background
Uridylyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of UDP-glucosamine, an essential precursor for glycoprotein and glycolipid synthesis. Can use UDP-glucosamine, the 4-epimer UDP-galactosamine and UDP-glucose as substrates. Acts redundantly with GLCNAC1PUT1. Required for gametogenesis and embryo development.
