EC | 2.4.1.363 | ||||
Accepted name: | ginsenoside 20-O-glucosyltransferase | ||||
Reaction: | UDP-α-D-glucose + (20S)-protopanaxadiol = UDP + ginsenoside C-K | ||||
Glossary: | (20S)-protopanaxadiol = (3β,12β)-dammar-24-ene-3,12,20-triol ginsenoside C-K = (3β,12β)-3,12-dihydroxydammar-24-en-20-yl β-D-glucopyranoside |
||||
Other name(s): | UGT71A27 (gene name) | ||||
Systematic name: | UDP-α-D-glucose:(20S)-protopanaxadiol 20-O-glucosyltransferase (configuration-inverting) | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme, characterized from the plant Panax ginseng, transfers a glucosyl moiety to the free C20(S)-OH group of dammarane derivative substrates, including protopanaxatriol, dammarenediol II, (20S)-ginsenoside Rh2, and (20S)-ginsenoside Rg3. It does not act on the 20R epimer of protopanaxadiol, or on ginsenosides that are glucosylated at the C-6 position, such as ginsenoside Rh1 or ginsenoside Rg2. | ||||
