Comment
Involved in the biosynthesis of poly(ribitol-phosphate) teichoic acids in the cell wall of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. This enzyme adds an N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine to the OH group at the 2 position of the ribitol phosphate units. cf. EC
2.4.1.70 [poly(ribitol-phosphate) alpha-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase].
