Reaction: UDP-α-D-glucose + 2-deoxystreptamine = UDP + 2'-deamino-2'-hydroxyparomamine
Glossary: 2'-deamino-2'-hydroxyparomamine = 4-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-2-deoxy-D-streptamine
Other name(s): kanF (gene name)
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-glucose:2-deoxystreptamine 6-α-D-glucosyltransferase
Comments: Involved in the biosynthesis of kanamycin B and kanamycin C. Also catalyses EC 2.4.1.283, 2-deoxystreptamine N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyltransferase, but activity is only one fifth of that with UDP-α-D-glucose.
