In enzymology, a phenol beta-glucosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and phenol, whereas its two products are UDP and aryl beta-D-glucoside.
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:phenol beta-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include UDPglucosyltransferase, phenol-beta-D-glucosyltransferase, UDP glucosyltransferase, UDP-glucose glucosyltransferase, and uridine diphosphoglucosyltransferase. This enzyme participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.
