Accepted name: | crocetin glucosyltransferase | ||||||
Reaction: | (1) UDP-α-D-glucose + crocetin = UDP + β-D-glucosyl crocetin (2) UDP-α-D-glucose + β-D-glucosyl crocetin = UDP + bis(β-D-glucosyl) crocetin (3) UDP-α-D-glucose + β-D-gentiobiosyl crocetin = UDP + β-D-gentiobiosyl β-D-glucosyl crocetin |

Other name(s): | crocetin GTase; UGTCs2; UGT75L6; UDP-glucose:crocetin glucosyltransferase; UDP-glucose:crocetin 8-O-D-glucosyltransferase | ||||||
Systematic name: | UDP-α-D-glucose:crocetin 8-O-D-glucosyltransferase | ||||||
Comments: | In the plants Crocus sativus and Gardenia jasminoides this enzyme esterifies a free carboxyl group of crocetin and some crocetin glycosyl esters. The enzyme from Gardenia can also form glucosyl esters with 4-coumarate, caffeate and ferulate [3]. | ||||||
