The enzyme uses ring opening and isomerization of the aldose-ketose type to convert the -CH(-NH2)-CH=O group of glucosamine 6-phosphate into -C(=NH)-CH2-OH, forming 2-deoxy-2-imino-D-arabino-hexitol, which then hydrolyses to yield fructose 6-phosphate and ammonia. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate, which is not broken down, activates the enzyme.

recombinant expression of the nonallosteric Bacillus subtilis homologue NagBBs in the NagBEC deficient Escherichia coli mutant, no effects on growth rates or competitive fitness on glucose or the amino sugars are detected, nor is any effect on the concentrations of central metabolites detected, thus demonstrating the robustness of amino sugar metabolism and leaving open the question of the role of allostery in the regulation of NagB
