EC 2.4.1.182

Names

Accepted name:
lipid-A-disaccharide synthase
Other name:
UDP-2,3-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)glucosamine:2,3-bis-(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-β-D-glucosaminyl-1-phosphate 2,3-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-glucosaminyltransferase [incorrect]
Systematic name:
UDP-2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-α-D-glucosamine:2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-α-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate 2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-α-D-glucosaminyltransferase

Reaction

Comments:

Involved with EC 2.3.1.129 (acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]—UDP-N-acetylglucosamine O-acyltransferase) and EC 2.7.1.130 (tetraacyldisaccharide 4'-kinase) in the biosynthesis of the phosphorylated glycolipid, lipid A, in the outer membrane of Gram negative bacteria.
