Biological function
NodZ is a glycosyltransferase that is essential for the fucosylation (the process of adding fucose sugar units to a molecule) of the terminal reducing N-acetylglucosamine residue.

NodZ is involved in the synthesis and secretion of signal molecules, which are lipochitin oligosaccharides (LCOs).
