Descriptor glicosiltransferasas
Entry term(s) glicosiltransferasa
Scope note: Enzimas que catalizan la transferencia de grupos glucosilo a un aceptor. Lo más frecuente es que la molécula de hidrato de carbono actúa como aceptor, pero también puede hacerlo el fosfato inorgánico, como en el caso de las FOSFORILASAS. Algunas enzimas de este grupo catalizan también la hidrólisis, que puede ser considerada como transferencia de un grupo glucosilo de un donador a agua. Las subclases comprenden las HEXOSILTRANSFERASAS, PENTOSILTRANSFERASAS, SIALILTRANSFERASAS, y aquellas que transfieren otros grupos glucosilo. EC 2.4.

Scope note: Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of glycosyl groups to an acceptor. Most often another carbohydrate molecule acts as an acceptor, but inorganic phosphate can also act as an acceptor, such as in the case of PHOSPHORYLASES. Some of the enzymes in this group also catalyze hydrolysis, which can be regarded as transfer of a glycosyl group from the donor to water. Subclasses include the HEXOSYLTRANSFERASES; PENTOSYLTRANSFERASES; SIALYLTRANSFERASES; and those transferring other glycosyl groups. EC 2.4.
