Description
Glucosamine-phosphate N-acetyltransferase, also known GNPNAT1, belongs to the GNA1 subfamily of the larger acetyltransferase family of proteins. It is localized to the Golgi apparatus and the endosome. It is important for UDPGlcNAc biosynthesis pathway. GNPNAT1 catalyzes the synthesis of GlcNAc6P from AcCoA and GlcN6P, a step in the UDP-GlcNAc6P formation pathway
