This invention provides an HbA1c dehydrogenase that is capable of directly acting on hemoglobin A1c and is less likely to be influenced by oxygen concentration and a method for measurement and a kit of assay reagents using such HbA1c dehydrogenase. The HbA1c dehydrogenase having dehydrogenase activity and capable of directly acting on HbA1c is obtained by substitution of one or more amino acid residues at positions corresponding to positions 280, 269, 54, 241, and 267 of the amadoriase that is capable of directly acting on hemoglobin A1c and is derived from, for example, the genus Coniochaeta. This invention also provides a method for measurement of HbA1c, a kit of assay reagents, and a sensor using such HbA1c dehydrogenase. Such HbA1c dehydrogenase is capable of directly acting on hemoglobin A1c and has lowered oxidase activity and/or enhanced dehydrogenase activity. This not only eliminates the need for treatment of hemoglobin A1c with a protease but also enables the use of an electron mediator in the measurement of HbA1c, thereby reducing effects due to oxygen concentration, and enables HbA1c measured with high sensitivity.
