uridine diphosphoglucose-1,3-α-glucan glucosyltransferase 1,3-α-D-glucan synthase UDP-glucose:α-D-(1-3)-glucan 3-α-D-glucosyltransferase |
Description | A glucan primer is needed to begin the reaction, which brings about elongation of the glucan chains. Reaction: UDP-glucose + [α-D-glucosyl-(1→3)]n = UDP + [α-D-glucosyl-(1→3)]n+1 |
