UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine transaminase

UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine transaminase (, pglE (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine + 2-oxoglutarate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-xylo-hex-4-ulose + L-glutamate

This enzyme is a pyridoxal-phosphate protein.
