Arylamine glucosyltransferase explained

arylamine glucosyltransferase
Ec Number:2.4.1.71
Cas Number:37277-72-8
Go Code:0047684

In enzymology, an arylamine glucosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

UDP-glucose + an arylamine

\rightleftharpoons

UDP + an N-D-glucosylarylamine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and arylamine, whereas its two products are UDP and N-D-glucosylarylamine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:arylamine N-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include UDP glucose-arylamine glucosyltransferase, and uridine diphosphoglucose-arylamine glucosyltransferase.
