Other name(s): GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-mannose reductase [ambiguous]; GDP-6-deoxy-D-lyxo-4-hexulose reductase; Rmd
Systematic name: GDP-6-deoxy-D-mannose:NAD(P)+ 4-oxidoreductase (D-rhamnose-forming)
Comments: This enzyme differs from EC 1.1.1.187, GDP-4-dehydro-D-rhamnose reductase, in that the only product formed is GDP-D-rhamnose (GDP-6-deoxy-D-mannose). D-Rhamnose is a constituent of lipopolysaccharides of Gram-negative plant and human pathogenic bacteria.
