General annotation (Comments)

Function	Cell wall formation. Catalyzes the transfer of a GlcNAc subunit on undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc-pentapeptide (lipid intermediate I) to form undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc-(pentapeptide)GlcNAc (lipid intermediate II) By similarity. HAMAP MF_00033
Catalytic activity	UDP-N-acetylglucosamine + Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala)-diphosphoundecaprenol = UDP + GlcNAc-(1->4)-Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala)-diphosphoundecaprenol. HAMAP MF_00033
Pathway	Cell wall biogenesis; peptidoglycan biosynthesis. HAMAP MF_00033
Subcellular location	Cell inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein By similarity HAMAP MF_00033.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 28 family. MurG subfamily.
