N-acylglucosamine 2-epimerase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RENBP gene.The gene product inhibits renin activity by forming a dimer with renin a complex known as high molecular weight renin. The encoded protein contains a leucine zipper domain which is essential for its dimerization with renin. The gene product can catalyze the interconversion of N-acetylglucosamine to N-acetylmannosamine indicating that it is a GlcNAc 2-epimerase.
