In enzymology a dolichyl-phosphate alpha-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.153) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + dolichyl phosphate UDP + dolichyl N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and dolichyl phosphate whereas its two products are UDP and dolichyl N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
