ID   2.4.1.85
DE   cyanohydrin beta-glucosyltransferase.
AN   UDP-glucose-p-hydroxymandelonitrile glucosyltransferase.
AN   UGT85B1.
AN   uridine diphosphoglucose-cyanohydrin glucosyltransferase.
AN   uridine diphosphoglucose-p-hydroxymandelonitrile glucosyltransferase.
CA   (S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile + UDP-alpha-D-glucose = dhurrin + H(+) + UDP.
CC   -!- Acts on a wide range of substrates in vitro, including cyanohydrins,
CC       terpenoids, phenolics, hexanol derivatives and plant hormones, in a
CC       regiospecific manner.
CC   -!- Involved in the biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin in
CC       sorghum, along with EC 1.14.14.36 and EC 1.14.14.37.
CC   -!- This reaction prevents the disocciation and release of toxic hydrogen
CC       cyanide.
