Description
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).
Family
Belongs to the UDPGP type 2 family.
Species
Staphylococcus epidermidis (strain ATCC 12228)
