- Flavone 7-O-beta-glucosyltransferase
In
enzymology , a flavone 7-O-beta-glucosyltransferase (EC number|2.4.1.81) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :UDP-glucose + 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone UDP + 7-O-beta-D-glucosyl-5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
UDP-glucose and5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone , whereas its two products are UDP and7-O-beta-D-glucosyl-5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone .This enzyme belongs to the family of
glycosyltransferase s, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone 7-O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include UDP-glucose-apigenin beta-glucosyltransferase, UDP-glucose-luteolin beta-D-glucosyltransferase, uridine diphosphoglucose-luteolin glucosyltransferase, uridine diphosphoglucose-apigenin 7-O-glucosyltransferase, and UDP-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme participates inflavonoid biosynthesis .References
