Vomilenine glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.219) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Rauwolfia serpentina are vomilenine and UDP-glucose. Its products are raucaffricine and uridine diphosphate (UDP). Raucaffricine is the major indole alkaloid found in this species of plant.[1][2][3]
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:vomilenine 21-O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme is also called UDPG:vomilenine 21-beta-D-glucosyltransferase.[4]
