In enzymology a N-acylglucosamine-6-phosphate 2-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionN-acyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate N-acyl-D-mannosamine 6-phosphateHence this enzyme has one substrate N-acyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate and one product N-acyl-D-mannosamine 6-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on carbohydrates and derivatives.
