UDP-sulfoquinovose synthase

UDP-sulfoquinovose synthase

In enzymology, an UDP-sulfoquinovose synthase (EC number|3.13.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:UDP-glucose + sulfite ightleftharpoons UDP-6-sulfoquinovose + H2O

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and sulfite, whereas its two products are UDP-6-sulfoquinovose and H2O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-sulfur bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-6-sulfo-6-deoxyglucose sulfohydrolase. Other names in common use include sulfite:UDP-glucose sulfotransferase, and UDPsulfoquinovose synthase. This enzyme participates in nucleotide sugars metabolism and glycerolipid metabolism.
