EC 2.4.2.56     
Accepted name: kaempferol 3-O-xylosyltransferase
Reaction: UDP-α-D-xylose + kaempferol = UDP + kaempferol 3-O-β-D-xyloside

Other name(s): F3XT; UDP-D-xylose:flavonol 3-O-xylosyltransferase; flavonol 3-O-xylosyltransferase
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-xylose:kaempferol 3-O-D-xylosyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme from the plant Euonymus alatus also catalyses the 3-O-D-xylosylation of other flavonols (e.g. quercetin, isorhamnetin, rhamnetin, myricetin, fisetin) with lower activity.
