unusual facts about N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase



Computational Resource for Drug Discovery

GDoQ: GDoQ (Prediction of GLMU inhibitors using QSAR and AutoDock) is an open source platform developed for predicting inhibitors against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.Tb) drug target N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GLMU) protein.

Epimer

Epimerisation can be spontaneous (generally a slow process), or catalyzed by enzymes, e.g. the epimerization between the sugars N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmannosamine, which is catalyzed by Renin-Binding Protein.

GNPTG

The GNPTG gene codes instructions for making the gamma subunit of an enzyme called GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase (also called N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase).

N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase

In melanocytic cells GNPTG gene expression may be regulated by MITF.
