Description
This enzyme catalyses the synthesis of N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol, an essential lipid intermediate for the biosynthesis of various bacterial cell envelope components. The enzyme also initiates the biosynthesis of enterobacterial common antigen and O-antigen lipopolysaccharide in certain Escherichia coli strains, including K-12 and of teichoic acid in certain Gram-positive bacteria.
