UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine 2-epimerase (hydrolysing) (EC 3.2.1.184, UDP-Bac2Ac4Ac 2-epimerase, NeuC) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine hydrolase (2-epimerising).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] UDP + 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-D-mannopyranose

This enzyme requires Mg2+. It is involved in biosynthesis of legionaminic acid.
