Description
UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GalU) carries out a key step in the generation of UDP-D-glucuronate as part of the larger system of colanic acid building blocks biosynthesis.
GalU catalyzes the addition of UTP to α-D-glucose 1-phosphate to yield UDP-D-glucose,which is the substrate for cellulose synthase complex to produce cellulose.
