Phosphopolyprenol glucosyltransferase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a phosphopolyprenol glucosyltransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- UDP-glucose + polyprenyl phosphate UDP + polyprenylphosphate-glucose
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and polyprenyl phosphate, whereas its two products are UDP and polyprenylphosphate-glucose.
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:phosphopolyprenol D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphoglucose-polyprenol monophosphate, glucosyltransferase, and UDP-glucose:polyprenol monophosphate glucosyltransferase.
