UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 4,6-dehydratase (configuration-retaining)

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 4,6-dehydratase (configuration-retaining) (, PglF) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-N-acetyl-α- D glucosamine hydro-lyase (configuration-retaining; UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-α- D xylo-hex-4-ulose-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * UDP-N-acetyl-α- D -glucosamine $$\rightleftharpoons$$ UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-α- D -xylo-hex-4-ulose + H2O

This enzyme contains NAD+ as a cofactor.
