| Type: | Family | Name: | UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase, bacterial type |
| Description: | UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase is involved in the biosynthesis of UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA), a critical precursor for glycan synthesis. This process is required for capsule synthesis in some bacteria [, , ]. This entry represents bacterial type of the UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenases. However, some non-bacterial proteins can also be found in this entry. This entry does not contain human UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase, which can be found in the eukaryotic type of the UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (). | Short Name: | UDPglc_DH_bac |
