Protein
UTP--glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase 2
Organism
Staphylococcus saprophyticus subsp. saprophyticus (strain ATCC 15305 / DSM 20229 / NCIMB 8711 / NCTC 7292 / S-41)
Function
Catalyzes the formation of UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate and UTP. This is an intermediate step in the biosynthesis of diglucosyl-diacylglycerol (Glc2-DAG), i.e. a glycolipid found in the membrane, which is also used as a membrane anchor for lipoteichoic acid (LTA) (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the UDPGP type 2 family.
