NCBI Summary
UGT72E3 is an UDPG:coniferyl alcohol glucosyltransferase which glucosylates sinapyl- and coniferyl alcohol as well as sinapic acid. The enzyme is thought to be involved in lignin- and phenylpropanoid metabolism. A knockdown mutant line (72E3KD) was obtained using RNAi silencing. No reduction in coniferyl alcohol 4-O-glucoside and sinapyl alcohol 4-O-glucoside was detected in this line compared to wildtype, in contrast with the knockdown line constructed for UGT72E2 displayed a twofold reduction in the these phenylpropanoid 4-O-glucosides.

UniProt Comments
Involved in the O-glucosylation of monolignols (alcohol monomers of lignin). Acts with low specific activity on conyferyl and sinapyl alcohols to form coniferyl alcohol 4-O-glucoside and sinapyl alcohol 4-O-glucoside, respectively. Possesses low activity with sinapate as substrate.
