ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.29

Accepted Name
cellulose synthase (GDP-forming)
Alternative Name(s)
GDP-glucose-beta-D-glucan glucosyltransferase
GDP-glucose-cellulose glucosyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
[(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl](n) + GDP-alpha-D-glucose <=> [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl](n+1) + GDP + H(+)
Comment(s)
Involved in the synthesis of cellulose. A similar enzyme utilizes UDP-alpha-D-glucose (cf. EC 2.4.1.12).
