In enzymology an UDP-N-acetylglucosamine diphosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.23) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUTP + N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate diphosphate + UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UTP and[N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate whereas its two products are diphosphate and UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases).
