Glucogallin is chemical compound formed from gallic acid and β-D-glucose. It is formed by a gallate 1-beta-glucosyltransferase (UDP-glucose: gallate glucosyltransferase), an enzyme performing the esterification of two substrates, UDP-glucose and gallate to yield two products, UDP and 1-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (glucogallin). This enzyme can be found in oak leaves preparations[1]
This the first step in the biosynthesis of gallotannins. The molecule is then used by enzymes in the gallotannins synthetis pathway like beta-glucogallin O-galloyltransferase or beta-glucogallin-tetrakisgalloylglucose O-galloyltransferase.
