- Vomilenine glucosyltransferase
In
enzymology , a vomilenine glucosyltransferase (EC number|2.4.1.219) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :UDP-glucose + vomilenine UDP + raucaffricine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
UDP-glucose andvomilenine , whereas its two products are UDP andraucaffricine .This enzyme belongs to the family of
glycosyltransferase s, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:vomilenine 21-O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme is also called UDPG:vomilenine 21-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme participates inindole and ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis .References
