Glucosamine Synthetase in the Human Gastrointestinal Mucosa in Health and Disease
- Abstract:
-
Glucosamine synthetase (L-glutamine-D-fructose-6-phosphate amino-transferase, EC.2.6.1.16) is the cytoplasmic enzyme which catalyses the synthesis of glucosamine-6-phosphate from fructose-6-phosphate and glutamine. It is a rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of UDP-N-acetyl-glucosamine and probably also of gastrointestinal mucus, which is glycoprotein in composition. Glycoproteins consist of a protein backbone on which are assembled complex carbohydrate side-chains. The first sugar to b...
