| Type: | Conserved_site | Name: | Glycosyltransferase, DXD sugar-binding motif |
| Description: | This entry represents those sugar-binding regions of glycosyltransferases that contain a DXD motif. The DXD motif is a short conserved motif found in many families of glycosyltransferases, which add a range of different sugars to other sugars, phosphates and proteins. DXD-containing glycosyltransferases all use nucleoside diphosphate sugars as donors and require divalent cations, usually manganese. The DXD motif is expected to play a carbohydrate binding role in sugar-nucleoside diphosphate and manganese dependent glycosyltransferases []. | Short Name: | GlycoTrfase_DXD_sugar-bd_CS |
