In enzymology, a flavanone 7-O-beta-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.185) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

UDP-glucose + a flavanone \rightleftharpoons UDP + a flavanone 7-O-beta-D-glucoside

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and flavanone, whereas its two products are UDP and flavanone 7-O-beta-D-glucoside. Enzymes are Biomolecules that catalyze ( ie increase the rates of Chemical reactions Almost all enzymes are Proteins This article is about the Enzyme Commission codes For the European Commission system for coding chemicals see EC-No. Enzymes are Biomolecules that catalyze ( ie increase the rates of Chemical reactions Almost all enzymes are Proteins Catalysis is the process in which the rate of a Chemical reaction is increased by means of a Chemical substance known as a catalyst A chemical reaction is a process that always results in the interconversion of Chemical substances The substance or substances initially involved in a chemical reaction are called Uridine diphosphate glucose ( uracil-diphosphate glucose, UDP-glucose) is a Nucleotide sugar. Naringenin (not to be confused with Naringin) is a Flavonoid that is considered to have a bioactive effect on human health as Antioxidant, Free A product is a substance that forms as a result of a Biological - or Chemical reaction. Uridine diphosphate, abbreviated UDP, is a Nucleotide. It is an Ester of Pyrophosphoric acid with the Nucleoside Uridine

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. Glycosyltransferases are Enzymes ( EC 24) that act as a Catalyst for the transfer of a Monosaccharide unit from an activated sugar Phosphate The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:flavanone 7-O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphoglucose-flavanone 7-O-glucosyltransferase, naringenin 7-O-glucosyltransferase, and hesperetin 7-O-glucosyl-transferase.
