Other name(s): F3GalTase; UDP-galactose:kaempferol 3-O-β-D-galactosyltransferase
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-galactose:kaempferol 3-O-β-D-galactosyltransferase
Comments: Acts on the endogenous flavonols kaempferol and quercetin, to a lesser extent on myricetin and fisetin, and weakly on galangin and isorhamnetin. The reaction can occur equally well in both directions.
