Protein attributes

Sequence length	470 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Broad spectrum multifunctional glucosyltransferase. In addition to hydroquinone it accept at least 45 natural and synthetic phenols as well as two cinnamyl alcohols as substrates. Hydroquinone was however the best substrate. In contrast to this broad acceptor substrate specificity, only pyrimidine nucleotide activated glucose is tolerated as a donor substrate.
Catalytic activity	UDP-glucose + hydroquinone = UDP + hydroquinone-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the UDP-glycosyltransferase family.
