CommentThis protein is a bifunctional enzyme, GlmU, which catalyzes last two reactions in the four-step pathway of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthesis from fructose-6-phosphate. Its reaction product is required from peptidoglycan biosynthesis, LPS biosynthesis in species with LPS, and certain other processes.
