Enzyme Information
| 3.2.1.183 | UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (hydrolyzing). based on mapping to UniProt Q9Y223 UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine + H(2)O = N-acetyl-D-mannosamine + UDP. -!- The enzyme is found in mammalian liver, as well as in some pathogenic bacteria including Neisseria meningitidis and Staphylococcus aureus. -!- It catalyzes the first step of sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid) biosynthesis. -!- The initial product formed is the alpha anomer, which rapidly mutarotates to a mixture of anomers. -!- The mammalian enzyme is bifunctional and also catalyzes EC 2.7.1.60. -!- Cf. EC 5.1.3.14. | 
| 2.7.1.60 | N-acylmannosamine kinase. based on mapping to UniProt Q9Y223 ATP + N-acyl-D-mannosamine = ADP + N-acyl-D-mannosamine 6-phosphate. -!- Acts on the acetyl and glycolyl derivatives. |
