UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine 2-epimerase (hydrolysing)

UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine 2-epimerase (hydrolysing) (, UDP-Bac2Ac4Ac 2-epimerase, NeuC) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine hydrolase (2-epimerising). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ UDP + 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-D-mannopyranose

This enzyme requires Mg2+. It is involved in biosynthesis of legionaminic acid.
