Indoxyl-UDPG glucosyltransferase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, an indoxyl-UDPG glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.220) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- UDP-glucose + indoxyl UDP + indican
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and indoxyl, whereas its two products are UDP and indican.
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:indoxyl 3-O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme is also called indoxyl-UDPG-glucosyltransferase.
