- Hydroxymandelonitrile glucosyltransferase
In
enzymology , a hydroxymandelonitrile glucosyltransferase (EC number|2.4.1.178) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :UDP-glucose + 4-hydroxymandelonitrile UDP + taxiphyllin
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
UDP-glucose and4-hydroxymandelonitrile , whereas its two products are UDP andtaxiphyllin .This enzyme belongs to the family of
glycosyltransferase s, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:4-hydroxymandelonitrile glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include cyanohydrin glucosyltransferase, and uridine diphosphoglucose-cyanohydrin glucosyltransferase. This enzyme participates intyrosine metabolism .References
