ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new use of uridine diphosphate glucose 4-epimerase (also called uridine diphosphate galactose 4-epimerase), and a method of converting uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) to uridine diphosphate N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) by using the said enzyme. The process for producing UDP-GalNAc by using the uridine diphosphate glucose 4-epimerase and the UDP-GalNAc supply system according to the present invention are practical and efficient, and greatly beneficial to the industries.
