 Aminotransferase involved in the bacillosamine biosynthesis pathway by producing UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-GlcNAc (UDP-2-acetamido-4-amino-2,4,6-trideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose), a precursor used in the production of the glycan component 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose. Required for host colonization and virulence. Involved in the N-linked protein glycosylation pathway.
