Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme Crocetin glucosyltransferase (Template:EC number, crocetin GTase, UGTCs2) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-glucose:crocetin 8-O-D-glucosyltransferase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (1) UDP-glucose + crocetin UDP + beta-D-glucosyl crocetin
- (2) UDP-glucose + beta-D-glucosyl crocetin UDP + bis(beta-D-glucosyl) crocetin
- (3) UDP-glucose + beta-D-gentiobiosyl crocetin UDP + beta-D-gentiobiosyl beta-D-glucosyl crocetin
In Crocus sativus this enzyme esterifies a free carboxyl group of crocetin or crocetin glycosyl ester.
