Hexosyltransferase

Hexosyltransferases are a type of glycosyltransferase that catalyze the transfer of a hexose.

Examples include:

glucosyltransferases - transfer glucose
galactosyltransferases - transfer galactose
fucosyltransferases - transfer fucose
glucuronosyltransferase - transfer glucuronic acid

They are classified under EC number 2.4.1.
