UDP 2,3 diacetamido 2,3 dideoxyglucuronic acid 2 epimerase

UDP-2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxyglucuronic acid 2-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.23, UDP-GlcNAc3NAcA 2-epimerase, UDP-alpha-D-GlcNAc3NAcA 2-epimerase, 2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucuronic acid 2-epimerase, WbpI, WlbD) is an enzyme with systematic name 2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucuronate 2-epimerase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

UDP-2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucuronate ⇌ UDP-2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-mannuronate

This enzyme participates in the biosynthetic pathway for UDP-alpha-D-ManNAc3NAcA.
