Linamarin synthase (EC 2.4.1.63) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from flax (Linum usitatissimum) are acetone cyanohydrin and UDP-glucose. Its products are linamarin 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:2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanenitrile beta-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphoglucose-ketone glucosyltransferase, uridine diphosphate-glucose-ketone cyanohydrin, beta-glucosyltransferase, UDP glucose ketone cyanohydrin glucosyltransferase, UDP-glucose:ketone cyanohydrin beta-glucosyltransferase, and uridine diphosphoglucose-ketone cyanohydrin glucosyltransferase.[2]
