N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase (EC 4.2.1.126 MurNAc-6-P etherase MurQ) is an enzyme with system name (R)-lactate hydro-lyase (adding N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate; N-acetylmuramate 6-phosphate-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction (R)-lactate + N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate N-acetylmuramate 6-phosphate + H2OThis enzyme is required for the utilization of anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid in proteobacteria.
