Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ 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_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ GMDS (AAH00117.1, 1 a.a. ~ 372 a.a) full-length human protein._x000D_ Sequence_x000D_ MAHAPARCPSARGSGDGEMGKPRNVALITGITGQDGSYLAEFLLEKGYEVHGIVRRSSSFNTGRIEHLYKNPQAHIEGNMKLHYGDLTDSTCLVKIINEVKPTEIYNLGAQSHVKISFDLAEYTADVDGVGTLRLLDAVKTCGLINSVKFYQASTSELYGKVQEIPQKETTPFYPRSPYGAAKLYAYWIVVNFREAYNLFAVNGILFNHESPRRGANFVTRKISRSVAKIYLGQLECFSLGNLDAKRDWGHAKDYVEAMWLMLQNDEPEDFVIATGEVHSVREFVEKSFLHIGKTIVWEGKNENEVGRCKETGKVHVTVDLKYYRPTEVDFLQGDCTKAKQKLNWKPRVAFDELVREMVHADVELMRTNPNA_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4_x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
