In enzymology an UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 6-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.136) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + 2 NAD+ + H2O UDP-N-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucuronate + 2 NADH + 2 H+The 3 substrates of this enzyme are UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine NAD+ and H2O whereas its 3 products are UDP-N-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucuronate NADH and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
