UDP-N-acetyl-D-mannosamine dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.336, UDP-ManNAc 6-dehydrogenase, wecC (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-mannosamine:NAD⁺ 6-oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-mannosamine + 2 NAD⁺ + H₂O ⇌ UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-mannosaminuronate + 2 NADH + 2 H⁺

This enzyme participates in acetamido sugar biosynthesis in bacteria and archaea.
