Type: | Domain | Name: | Sucrose synthase |
Description: | Sucrose synthases catalyse the synthesis of sucrose in the following reaction: UDP-glucose + D-fructose = UDP + sucrose This family includes the bulk of the sucrose synthase protein. However the carboxyl terminal region of thesucrose synthases belongs to the glycosyl transferase family . This enzyme is found mainly in plants but also appears in bacteria. | Short Name: | Sucrose_synth |
