Description
The enzyme consists of two proteins. One forms an enzyme-bound adduct of the CDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxyglucose with pyridoxamine phosphate, in which the 3-hydroxy group has been removed. The second catalyses the reduction of this adduct by NAD(P)H and release of the CDP-4-dehydro-3,6-dideoxy-D-glucose and pyridoxamine phosphate
