Description
In enzymology, a DNA beta-glucosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction in which a beta-D-glucosyl residue is transferred from UDP-glucose to an hydroxymethylcytosine residue in DNA. It is analogous to the enzyme DNA alpha-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases.
Abbr
β-glucosyltransferase, Recombinant
Applications
Useful for the differentiation of hydroxymethylcytosine (HMC) from methylcytosine in DNA, via glucosylating HMC and protecting HMC from endonuclease cleavage.
