Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. UDP-sulfoquinovose synthase (EC 3.13.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. UDP-glucose + sulfite = UDP-6-sulfoquinovose + H2O. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and sulfite, whereas its two products are UDP-6-sulfoquinovose and H2O. In a subsequent reaction catalyzed by sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol synthase, the sulfoquinovose portion of UDP-sulfoquinovose is combined with diacyglycerol to produced the sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG). This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-sulfur bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-6-sulfo-6-deoxyglucose sulfohydrolase. Other names in common use include sulfite:UDP-glucose sulfotransferase, and UDP-sulfoquinovose synthase. This enzyme participates in nucleotide sugars metabolism and glycerolipid metabolism.
