Cis-zeatin O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a cis-zeatin O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.215) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- UDP-glucose + cis-zeatin UDP + O-beta-D-glucosyl-cis-zeatin
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and cis-zeatin, whereas its two products are UDP and O-beta-D-glucosyl-cis-zeatin.
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:cis-zeatin O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase.
