Isoflavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.170) is an enzyme that catalyzes several related chemical reaction that convert a phenolic hydroxy group in isoflavones to their glycosyl derivative.[1]
- UDP-glucose + an isoflavone UDP + an isoflavone 7-O-beta-D-glucoside
The substrates of this enzyme are an isoflavone and UDP-glucose. These produce the corresponding isoflavone 7-O-beta-D-glucoside and the by-product uridine diphosphate (UDP). For example, daidzein is converted to daidzin.[2]
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:isoflavone 7-O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphoglucose-isoflavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase, UDPglucose-favonoid 7-O-glucosyltransferase, and UDPglucose:isoflavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme participates in isoflavonoid biosynthesis.[1]
