| Comment | Members of this family are included within the larger PF03102 (NeuB) family. NeuB itself (TIGR03569) is involved in the biosynthesis of neuraminic acid by the condensation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) with N-Acetyl-D-Mannosamine. In an analagous reaction, this enzyme, PseI [1], condenses PEP with 6-deoxy-beta-L-AltNAc4NAc to generate pseudaminic acid. |
