Glucosyltransferases are a type of glycosyltransferase that enable the transfer of glucose. [1] Examples include: glycogen synthase; glycogen phosphorylase; They are categorized under EC number 2.4.1.
Most glycosyltransferase enzymes form one of two folds: GT-A or GT-B. Glycosyltransferases (GTFs, Gtfs) are enzymes that establish natural glycosidic linkages.They catalyze the transfer of saccharide moieties from an activated nucleotide sugar (also known as the "glycosyl donor") to a nucleophilic glycosyl acceptor molecule, the nucleophile of which can be oxygen- carbon-, nitrogen-, or sulfur ...
Histo-blood group ABO system transferase is an enzyme with glycosyltransferase activity, which is encoded by the ABO gene in humans. [5] [6] It is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and cell types. [7] ABO determines the ABO blood group of an individual by modifying the oligosaccharides on cell surface glycoproteins. Variations in the ...
Alpha-1,6-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.143, N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II, N-glycosyl-oligosaccharide-glycoprotein N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II, acetylglucosaminyltransferase II, uridine diphosphoacetylglucosamine-mannoside alpha1->6-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, uridine diphosphoacetylglucosamine-alpha-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein beta-1-2-N ...
In enzymology, a 1,4-alpha-glucan 6-alpha-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction that transfers an alpha-D-glucosyl residue in a 1,4-alpha-D-glucan to the primary hydroxyl group of glucose or 1,4-alpha-D-glucan.
N-glycosyltransferase is an enzyme in prokaryotes which transfers individual hexoses onto asparagine sidechains in substrate proteins, using a nucleotide-bound intermediary, within the cytoplasm. They are distinct from regular N -glycosylating enzymes , which are oligosaccharyltransferases that transfer pre-assembled oligosaccharides .

Galactosyltransferase is a type of glycosyltransferase which catalyzes the transfer of galactose. An example is B-N-acetylglucosaminyl-glycopeptide b-1,4-galactosyltransferase . The biosynthesis of disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides involves the action of hundreds of different glycosyltransferases.
