Cellulose synthase (UDP-forming)
In enzymology, a cellulose synthase (EC2.4.1.12, UDP-glucose:(1→4)-β-D-glucan 4-β-D-glucosyltransferase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and [(1→4)-β-D-glucosyl]n, whereas its two products are UDP and [(1→4)-β-D-glucosyl]n+1.
