UDP-2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-beta-L-altropyranose hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.57, PseG, UDP-6-deoxy-AltdiNAc hydrolase, Cj1312) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-2,4-bis(acetamido)-2,4,6-trideoxy-beta-L-altropyranose hydrolase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

UDP-2,4-bis(acetamido)-2,4,6-trideoxy-beta-L-altropyranose + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] 2,4-bis(acetamido)-2,4,6-trideoxy-beta-L-altropyranose + UDP

The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of pseudaminic acid.
