α-1,3-glucan synthase
Names
[ CAS No. ]:
113478-38-9
[ Name ]:
α-1,3-glucan synthase
[Synonym ]:
EC 2.4.1.183
uridine diphosphoglucose-1,3-α-glucan glucosyltransferase
1,3-α-D-glucan synthase
UDP-glucose:α-D-(1-3)-glucan 3-α-D-glucosyltransferase
Biological Activity
[Description]:
A glucan primer is needed to begin the reaction, which brings about elongation of the glucan chains. Reaction: UDP-glucose + [α-D-glucosyl-(1→3)]n = UDP + [α-D-glucosyl-(1→3)]n+1
