Protein attributes

Sequence length	359 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the synthesis of Und-PP-GlcNAc-ManNAcA-Fuc4NAc (Lipid III), the third lipid-linked intermediate involved in ECA synthesis.
Catalytic activity	TDP-Fuc4NAc + Und-PP-GlcNAc-ManNAcA = TDP + Und-PP-GlcNAc-ManNAcA-Fuc4NAc.
Pathway	Bacterial outer membrane biogenesis; enterobacterial common antigen biosynthesis.
Subcellular location	Cell inner membrane; Peripheral membrane proteinPotential.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 56 family.
Sequence caution	The sequence AAA67593.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at positions 60, 67, 327 and 354.
