2.4.1.136 |
Accepted name: |
gallate 1-β-glucosyltransferase |
Reaction: |
UDP-glucose + gallate = UDP + 1-galloyl-β-D-glucose |
Other name(s): |
UDP-glucose—vanillate 1-glucosyltransferase; UDPglucose:vanillate 1-O-glucosyltransferase; UDPglucose:gallate glucosyltransferase |
Systematic name: |
UDP-glucose:gallate β-D-glucosyltransferase |
Comments: |
A number of substituted benzoic acids and, more slowly, cinnamic acids, can act as acceptors. Vanillin is the best acceptor investigated. |
