CDP-paratose synthase

CDP-paratose synthase (, rfbS (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name CDP-alpha-D-paratose:NADP+ 4-oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * CDP-alpha-D-paratose + NADP+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CDP-4-dehydro-3,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucose + NADPH + H+

This enzyme participates in synthesis of paratose and tyvelose.
