In enzymology a phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.198) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol UDP + 6-(N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl)-1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositolThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol whereas its two products are UDP and 6-(N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl)-1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases to be specific the hexosyltransferases.
