Glossary: naringenin chalcone = 2′,4,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone = 3-(4-hydroxyphemyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one
Other name(s): 4′CGT
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-glucose:2′,4,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone 4′-O-β-D-glucosyltransferase
Comments: Isolated from the plant Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon). Involved in the biosynthesis of aurones, plant flavonoids that provide yellow color to the flowers.
