EC 1.1.1.281

Accepted name: GDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-D-mannose reductase

Reaction: GDP-α-D-rhamnose + NAD(P)+ = GDP-4-dehydro-α-D-rhamnose + NAD(P)H + H+

Glossary: GDP-α-D-rhamnose = GDP-6-deoxy-α-D-mannose
GDP-4-dehydro-α-D-rhamnose = GDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-α-D-mannose

Other name(s): GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-mannose reductase [ambiguous]; GDP-6-deoxy-D-lyxo-4-hexulose reductase; Rmd; GDP-6-deoxy-D-mannose:NAD(P)+ 4-oxidoreductase (D-rhamnose-forming); GDP-6-deoxy-β-D-mannose:NAD(P)+ 4-oxidoreductase (D-rhamnose-forming)

Systematic name: GDP-α-D-rhamnose:NAD(P)+ 4-oxidoreductase

Comments: This enzyme differs from EC 1.1.1.187, GDP-4-dehydro-D-rhamnose reductase, in that the only product formed is GDP-α-D-rhamnose (GDP-6-deoxy-α-D-mannose). D-Rhamnose is a constituent of lipopolysaccharides of Gram-negative plant and human pathogenic bacteria.
