Ec Number:2.8.2.19
Cas Number:83589-05-3
Go Code:0047363

In enzymology, a triglucosylalkylacylglycerol sulfotransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + α-D-glucosyl-(1→6)-alpha-D-glucosyl-(1→6)-α-D-glucosyl-(1→3)-1-O-alkyl-2-O-acylglycerol

\rightleftharpoons

adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + 6-sulfo-α-D-glucosyl-(1→6)-α-D-glucosyl-(1→6)-α-D-glucosyl-(1→3)-1-O-alkyl-2-O-acylglycerol

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the sulfotransferases, which transfer sulfur-containing groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:triglucosyl-1-O-alkyl-2-O-acylglycerol 6-sulfotransferase. This enzyme is also called triglucosylmonoalkylmonoacyl sulfotransferase.
