N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate epimerase (NanE) converts N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate to N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate. This reaction is part of the pathway that allows the usage of sialic acid as a carbohydrate source. Sialic acids are a family of related sugars that are found as a component of glycoproteins, gangliosides, and other sialoglycoconjugates.
