Isovitexin beta-glucosyltransferase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, an isovitexin beta-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.106) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- UDP-glucose + isovitexin
UDP + isovitexin 2"-O-beta-D-glucoside
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and isovitexin, whereas its two products are UDP and [[isovitexin 2-O-beta-D-glucoside]].
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:isovitexin 2-O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme is also called uridine diphosphoglucose-isovitexin 2"-glucosyltransferase.
