Protein Domain : UDP-glucose/GDP-mannose dehydrogenase IPR017476

Type	Family
Description	Enzymes in this family catalyse the NAD-dependent alcohol-to-acid oxidation of nucleotide-linked sugars. Examples include UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase ( ) [ ], GDP-mannose 6-dehydrogenase () [ ], UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 6-dehydrogenase () [ ], UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminuronic acid dehydrogenase [], UDP-N-acetyl-D-mannosaminuronic acid dehydrogenase [] and UDP-N-acetyl-D-mannosamine dehydrogenase []. These enzymes are most often involved in the biosynthesis of polysaccharides and are often found in operons devoted to that purpose. All of these enzymes contain three domains, , , and for the N-terminal, central, and C-terminal regions respectively.
Short Name	UDP-Glc/GDP-Man
