In enzymology, a procollagen galactosyltransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :UDP-galactose + procollagen 5-hydroxy-L-lysine UDP + procollagen 5-(D-galactosyloxy)-L-lysine Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-galactose and procollagen 5-hydroxy-L-lysine, whereas its two products are UDP and procollagen 5-(D-galactosyloxy)-L-lysine. This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:procollagen-5-hydroxy-L-lysine D-galactosyltransferase. Other names in common use include hydroxylysine galactosyltransferase, collagen galactosyltransferase, collagen hydroxylysyl galactosyltransferase, UDP galactose-collagen galactosyltransferase, uridine diphosphogalactose-collagen galactosyltransferase, and UDPgalactose:5-hydroxylysine-collagen galactosyltransferase. This enzyme participates in lysine degradation. ==References== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Procollagen galactosyltransferase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
