CDP-abequose synthase ( EC 1.1.1.341, rfbJ (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name CDP-alpha-D-abequose:NADP+ 4-oxidoreductase. [1] [2] [3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

CDP-alpha-D-abequose + NADP+ CDP-4-dehydro-3,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucose + NADPH + H+

This enzyme is from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Salmonella enterica.
