| Type: | Family | Name: | dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose reductase family |
| Description: | dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose reductase () catalyses the reduction of dTDP-6-deoxy-L-lyxo-4-hexulose to yield dTDP-L-rhamnose, which is the final step in the conversion of dTDP-D-glucose to dTDP-L-rhamnose []. dTDP-rhamnose is essential for growth of mycobacteria []. dTDP-L-rhamnose is the precursor of L-Rhamnose (L-Rha), a component of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) core and several O antigen polysaccharides of Pseudomonas [].Methionine adenosyltransferase 2 subunit beta (MAT2B) also belongs to this family. It is the regulatory subunit of MAT2A, an enzyme that catalyses the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) from methionine and ATP []. | Short Name: | dTDP_dehydrorham_reduct |
