2.4.2.39 |
| Accepted name: |
xyloglucan 6-xylosyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
Transfers an α-D-xylosyl residue from UDP-D-xylose to a glucose residue in xyloglucan, forming an α-(1→6)-D-xylosyl-D-glucose linkage |
| Other name(s): |
uridine diphosphoxylose-xyloglucan 6α-xylosyltransferase; xyloglucan 6-α-D-xylosyltransferase; UDP-D-xylose:xyloglucan 1,6-α-D-xylosyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
UDP-D-xylose:xyloglucan 6-α-D-xylosyltransferase |
| Comments: |
In association with EC 2.4.1.168 (xyloglucan 4-glucosyltransferase), this enzyme brings about the synthesis of xyloglucan; concurrent transfers of glucose and xylose are necessary for this synthesis. |
