In enzymology an alizarin 2-beta-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.103) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-glucose + alizarin UDP + 1-hydroxy-2-(beta-D-glucosyloxy)-910-anthraquinoneThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and alizarin whereas its two products are UDP and 1-hydroxy-2-(beta-D-glucosyloxy)-910-anthraquinone.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
