    Summary
    The N-terminal transglycosylase activity polymerizes the glycan backbone and is penicillin-insensitive. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10748]. PBP1A, the product of the mrcA gene, is a bifunctional, inner membrane enzyme catalyzing the transglycosylation and transpeptidation of murein (peptidoglycan) precursors in the formation of the murein sacculus. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10748].
