EC 2.4.1.304     
Accepted name: UDP-Gal:α-D-GlcNAc-diphosphoundecaprenol β-1,4-galactosyltransferase
Reaction: UDP-α-D-galactose + N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol = UDP + β-D-Gal-(1→4)-α-D-GlcNAc-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol
Other name(s): WfeD; UDP-Gal:GlcNAc-R 1,4-Gal-transferase; UDP-Gal:GlcNAc-pyrophosphate-lipid β-1,4-galactosyltransferase
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-galactose:N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol β-1,4-galactosyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme is involved in the the biosynthesis of the O-polysaccharide repeating unit of the bacterium Shigella boydii B14. The activity is stimulated by Mn2+ or to a lesser extent by Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+ or Pb2+.
