In enzymology a 14-beta-D-xylan synthase (EC 2.4.2.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-D-xylose + (14-beta-D-xylan)n UDP + (14-beta-D-xylan)n+1Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-D-xylose and (14-beta-D-xylan)n whereas its two products are UDP and (14-beta-D-xylan)n+1.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the pentosyltransferases.
