ENZYME

ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.13

Accepted Name
sucrose synthase
Alternative Name(s)
sucrose synthetase
sucrose-UDP glucosyltransferase
sucrose-uridine diphosphate glucosyltransferase
UDP-glucose-fructose glucosyltransferase
uridine diphosphoglucose-fructose glucosyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
an NDP-alpha-D-glucose + D-fructose <=> a ribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate + H(+) + sucrose
Comment(s)
  • Although UDP is generally considered to be the preferred nucleoside diphosphate for sucrose synthase, numerous studies have shown that ADP serves as an effective acceptor molecule to produce ADP-glucose.
  • Sucrose synthase has a dual role in producing both UDP-glucose (necessary for cell wall and glycoprotein biosynthesis) and ADP- glucose (necessary for starch biosynthesis).
