(-)-menthyl β-D-glucoside

The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from tomato are (-)-menthol and UDP-glucose. Its products are (-)-menthyl β-D-glucoside and uridine diphosphate (UDP).[1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:(-)-menthol O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphoglucose-monoterpenol glucosyltransferase, and UDPglucose:monoterpenol glucosyltransferase.[2]
