2.1.1.234

Accepted name:

dTDP-3-amino-3,4,6-trideoxy-α-D-glucopyranose N,N-dimethyltransferase

Glossary:

α-D-desosamine = 3-dimethylamino-3,4,6-trideoxy-α-D-glucopyranose
dTDP-3-dimethylamino-3,4,6-trideoxy-α-D-glucopyranose = dTDP-D-desosamine

Other name(s):

DesVI

Systematic name:

S-adenosyl-L-methionine:dTDP-3-amino-3,4,6-trideoxy-α-D-glucopyranose 3-N,N-dimethyltransferase

Comments:

The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of desosamine, a 3-(dimethylamino)-3,4,6-trideoxyhexose found in certain macrolide antibiotics such as erthyromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin.
