DTDP-6-deoxy-L-talose 4-dehydrogenase (NAD+)
Ec Number:1.1.1.339

DTDP-6-deoxy-L-talose 4-dehydrogenase (NAD+) (tll (gene name)) is an enzyme with systematic name dTDP-6-deoxy-beta-L-talose:NAD+ 4-oxidoreductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

dTDP-6-deoxy-beta-L-talose + NAD+

\rightleftharpoons

dTDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-beta-L-mannose + NADH + H+

The enzyme from bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans participates in the biosynthesis of the serotype c-specific polysaccharide antigen.
