2.4.1.78 |
Accepted name: |
phosphopolyprenol glucosyltransferase |
Reaction: |
UDP-glucose + polyprenyl phosphate = UDP + polyprenylphosphate-glucose |
Other name(s): |
uridine diphosphoglucose-polyprenol monophosphate glucosyltransferase; UDP-glucose:polyprenol monophosphate glucosyltransferase |
Systematic name: |
UDP-glucose:phosphopolyprenol D-glucosyltransferase |
Comments: |
Ficaprenyl phosphate is the best substrate; other polyprenols can also act as substrates, but more slowly. |
