| ncRNA Symbol: | GMDS | | Full Name: | GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | GMD|SDR3E1 | | Chromosome: | chr6 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 1623806 | End Site(bp): | 2245692 | | | Gene Summary: | GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD; EC 4.2.1.47) catalyzes the conversion of GDP-mannose to GDP-4-keto-6-deoxymannose, the first step in the synthesis of GDP-fucose from GDP-mannose, using NADP+ as a cofactor. The second and third steps of the pathway are catalyzed by a single enzyme, GDP-keto-6-deoxymannose 3,5-epimerase, 4-reductase, designated FX in humans (MIM 137020).[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009] | | External Links: | |
