Background
GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD; EC 4.2.1.47) catalyzes the conversion of GDP-mannose to GDP-4-keto-6-deoxymannose, the first step in the synthesis of GDP-fucose from GDP-mannose, using NADP+ as a cofactor. The second and third steps of the pathway are catalyzed by a single enzyme, GDP-keto-6-deoxymannose 3,5-epimerase, 4-reductase, designated FX in humans (MIM 137020).[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009],
Function
catalytic activity:GDP-mannose = GDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-D-mannose + H(2)O.,cofactor:NADP.,function:Conversion of GDP-D-mannose to GDP-4-keto-6-D-deoxymannose.,pathway:Nucleotide-sugar biosynthesis; GDP-L-fucose biosynthesis via de novo pathway; GDP-L-fucose from GDP-D-mannose: step 1/2.,similarity:Belongs to the GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase family.,
