PROCESS FOR PRODUCING URIDINE DIPHOSPHATE-N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE

摘要

A process for producing uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine (UDPAG) from uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) and N-acetylglucosamine by using microbial cells, characterized by using N-acetylglucosamine kinase together. According to this process, UDPAG can be efficiently produced even when N-acetylglucosamine is employed as the substrate.
