Compound as reactive (1)

H2O + N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate → acetate + α-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate

Compound as product (3)

H₂O + N,N'-diacetylchitobiose 6'-phosphate → N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate + N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine

phosphoenolpyruvate + N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine → N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate + pyruvate

N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine + ATP → N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate + H⁺ + ADP

Reversible reaction (4)

N-acetyl-D-mannosamine 6-phosphate ↔ N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate

N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate ↔ N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate

H₂O + N-acetyl-D-muramate 6-phosphate ↔ N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate + (R)-lactate

acetyl-CoA + α-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate ↔ coenzyme A + H+ + N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate
