Enzyme Information

2.1.1.234
dTDP-3-amino-3,4,6-trideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose N,N-dimethyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9ZGH6
2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + dTDP-3-amino-3,4,6-trideoxy-alpha-D- glucopyranose = 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + dTDP-3-dimethylamino-3,4,6- trideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranose.
-!- The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of desosamine, a 3-(dimethylamino)-3,4,6-trideoxyhexose found in certain macrolide antibiotics such as erthyromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin.
