Description
This HMM describes GlmM, phosphoglucosamine mutase, previous called MrsA in E. coli, UreC in Helicobacter pylori, and femR315 or FemD in Staphlococcus aureus. In bacteria, the enzyme converts glucosamine-6-phosphate to glucosamine-1-phosphate as part of the pathway toward UDP-N-acetylglucosamine for peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharides.
