 Nucleotide sugar hydrolase that catalyzes the fourth step in the biosynthesis of pseudaminic acid, a sialic-acid-like sugar that is used to modify flagellin. Mediates the removal of UDP from C-1 of UDP-2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-beta-L-altropyranose forming 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-beta-L-altropyranose.
