EC 1.1.1.426     
Accepted name: UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-quinovosamine dehydrogenase
Reaction: UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-quinovosamine + NAD(P)+ = UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-α-D-xylohex-4-ulose + NAD(P)H + H+
Glossary: UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-quinovosamine = UDP-N-acetyl-6-deoxy-α-D-glucosamine
Other name(s): wbpV (gene name); wreQ (gene name)
Systematic name: UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-quinovosamine:NAD(P)+ 4-dehydrogenase
Comments: The enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of N-acetyl-α-D-quinovosamine, a 6-deoxy sugar that is present in the O antigens of many Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotypes O6 and O10, Rhizobium etli, and Brucella abortus.
