2.4.1.177 |
Accepted name: |
cinnamate β-D-glucosyltransferase |
Reaction: |
UDP-glucose + trans-cinnamate = UDP + trans-cinnamoyl β-D-glucoside |
Other name(s): |
uridine diphosphoglucose-cinnamate glucosyltransferase; UDPG:t-cinnamate glucosyltransferase |
Systematic name: |
UDP-glucose:trans-cinnamate β-D-glucosyltransferase |
Comments: |
4-Coumarate, 2-coumarate, benzoate, feruloate and caffeate can also act as acceptors, but more slowly. Involved in the biosynthesis of chlorogenic acid in the root of the sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas. |
