NCBI Protein Information
UDP-Glycosyltransferase superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
the glycosyltransferase (UGT72B1) is involved in metabolizing xenobiotica (chloroaniline and chlorophenole). Comparison between wild type and knock-out mutant demonstrates the central role of this gene for metabolizing chloroaniline but significantly less for chlorophenole. The glucosyltransferase preferred UDP-xylose over UDP-glucose indicating its (additional) functioning as a xylosyltransferase in planta

UniProt Comments
Bifunctional O-glycosyltransferase and N-glycosyltransferase that can detoxify xenobiotics. Possesses high activity to metabolize the persistent pollutants 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (TCP) and 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA). Also active on benzoates and benzoate derivatives in vitro.
