Protein
Pseudaminic acid cytidylyltransferase
Organism
Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni serotype O:2 (strain ATCC 700819 / NCTC 11168)
Function
Catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of pseudaminic acid, a sialic-acid-like sugar that is used to modify flagellin. Mediates the activation of pseudaminic acid with CMP by forming CMP-pseudaminic acid (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the CMP-NeuNAc synthase family.
