- 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-glucosyltransferase
In
enzymology , a 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-glucosyltransferase (EC number|2.4.1.157) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :UDP-glucose + 1,2-diacylglycerol ightleftharpoons UDP + 3-D-glucosyl-1,2-diacylglycerol
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
UDP-glucose and1,2-diacylglycerol , whereas its two products are UDP and3-D-glucosyl-1,2-diacylglycerol .This enzyme belongs to the family of
glycosyltransferase s, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:1,2-diacylglycerol 3-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include UDP-glucose:diacylglycerol glucosyltransferase, UDP-glucose:1,2-diacylglycerol glucosyltransferase, uridine diphosphoglucose-diacylglycerol glucosyltransferase, and UDP-glucose-diacylglycerol glucosyltransferase. This enzyme participates inglycerolipid metabolism .References
