Catalysis of the PEP-dependent, phosphoryl transfer-driven transport of substances across a membrane. The transport happens by catalysis of the reaction: protein N-phosphohistidine + N-acetylglucosamine(out) = protein histidine + N-acetylglucosamine phosphate(in). This differs from primary and secondary active transport in that the solute is modified during transport. Catalysis of the transfer of monosaccharide from one side of the membrane to the other. Catalysis of the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine from one side of the membrane to the other. The D isomer of N-acetylglucosamine is a common structural unit of glycoproteins in plants, bacteria and animals; it is often the terminal sugar of an oligosaccharide moiety of a glycoprotein. Catalysis of the transfer of a hexose sugar, a monosaccharide with 6 carbon atoms, from one side of the membrane to the other.
