CDP-abequose synthase (EC 1.1.1.341, rfbJ (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name CDP-alpha-D-abequose:NADP+ 4-oxidoreductase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- CDP-alpha-D-abequose + NADP+ CDP-4-dehydro-3,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucose + NADPH + H+
This enzyme is from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Salmonella enterica.
