In enzymology a N-acylglucosamine 2-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionN-acyl-D-glucosamine N-acyl-D-mannosamineHence this enzyme has one substrate N-acyl-D-glucosamine and one product N-acyl-D-mannosamine.This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on carbohydrates and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-acyl-D-glucosamine 2-epimerase.
