EC	2.4.1.253
Accepted name:	baicalein 7-O-glucuronosyltransferase
Reaction:	UDP-D-glucuronate + baicalein = UDP + baicalin
Glossary:	baicalin = 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone-7-O-β-D-glucuronate = 5,6-dihydroxy-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-7-yl β-D-glucupyranosiduronic acid baicalein = 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone = 5,6,7-trihydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one wogonin = 5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone = 5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one scutellarein = 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroxyflavone-7-O-β-D-glucoronate = 5,6,7-trihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)chromen-4-one
Other name(s):	UBGAT
Systematic name:	UDP-D-glucuronate:5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone 7-O-glucuronosyltransferase
Comments:	The enzyme is specific for UDP-D-glucuronate as a sugar donor and flavones with substitution ortho- to the 7-OH group such as baicalein (6-OH), scutellarein (6-OH) and wogonin (8-OMe).
