- CDP-paratose 2-epimerase
In
enzymology , a CDP-paratose 2-epimerase (EC number|5.1.3.10) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :CDP-3,6-dideoxy-D-glucose ightleftharpoons CDP-3,6-dideoxy-D-mannose
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
CDP-3,6-dideoxy-D-glucose , and one product,CDP-3,6-dideoxy-D-mannose .This enzyme belongs to the family of
isomerase s, specifically thoseracemase s andepimerase s acting oncarbohydrate s and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is CDP-3,6-dideoxy-D-glucose 2-epimerase. Other names in common use include CDP-paratose epimerase, cytidine diphosphoabequose epimerase, cytidine diphosphodideoxyglucose epimerase, cytidine diphosphoparatose epimerase, and cytidine diphosphate paratose-2-epimerase. It is also incorrectly known as "CDP-abequose epimerase", and "CDP-D-abequose 2-epimerase". This enzyme participates instarch andsucrose metabolism. It employs one cofactor,NAD+ .References
