Flavonol-3-O-glycoside glucosyltransferase

Class of enzymes

In enzymology, a flavonol-3-O-glycoside glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.240) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

UDP-glucose + a flavonol 3-O-beta-D-glucosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucoside UDP + a flavonol 3-O-beta-D-glucosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucoside
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and [[flavonol 3-O-beta-D-glucosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucoside]], whereas its 3 products are UDP, flavonol, and [[3-O-beta-D-glucosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucoside]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:flavonol-3-O-beta-D-glucosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucoside 2-O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase.
