- Xyloglucan 6-xylosyltransferase
In
enzymology , a xyloglucan 6-xylosyltransferase (EC number|2.4.2.39) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction in which an alpha-D-xylosyl residue is transferred from UDP-D-xylose to aglucose residue inxyloglucan , being attached by an alpha-1,6-D-xylosyl-D-glucose bond.This enzyme belongs to the family of
glycosyltransferase s, specifically the pentosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-D-xylose:xyloglucan 1,6-alpha-D-xylosyltransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphoxylose-xyloglucan 6alpha-xylosyltransferase, and xyloglucan 6-alpha-D-xylosyltransferase.References
