1,2-diacylglycerol 3-glucosyltransferase

Class of enzymes 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-glucosyltransferase 2.4.1.157 83744-96-1 0047228 In enzymology, a 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-glucosyltransferase (2.4.1.157) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction UDP-glucose + 1,2-diacylglycerol UDP + 3-D-glucosyl-1,2-diacylglycerol Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and 1,2-diacylglycerol, whereas its two products are UDP and 3-D-glucosyl-1,2-diacylglycerol. This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:1,2-diacylglycerol 3-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include UDP-glucose:diacylglycerol glucosyltransferase, UDP-glucose:1,2-diacylglycerol glucosyltransferase, uridine diphosphoglucose-diacylglycerol glucosyltransferase, and UDP-glucose-diacylglycerol glucosyltransferase. This enzyme participates in glycerolipid metabolism. References 1 Sato N, Murata N 1982 Lipid biosynthesis in the blue-green-alga (cyanobacterium), Anabaena variabilis. 3.
