IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 2.4.1.136

Accepted name: gallate 1-β-glucosyltransferase

Reaction: UDP-glucose + gallate = UDP + 1-galloyl-β-D-glucose

Other name(s): UDP-glucose—vanillate 1-glucosyltransferase; UDP-glucose:vanillate 1-O-glucosyltransferase; UDP-glucose:gallate glucosyltransferase

Systematic name: UDP-glucose:gallate β-D-glucosyltransferase

Comments: A number of substituted benzoic acids and, more slowly, cinnamic acids, can act as acceptors. Vanillin is the best acceptor investigated.
