In enzymology a cellulose synthase (GDP-forming) (EC 2.4.1.29) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionGDP-glucose + (14-beta-D-glucosyl)n GDP + (14-beta-D-glucosyl)n+1Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are GDP-glucose and (14-beta-D-glucosyl)n whereas its two products are GDP and (14-beta-D-glucosyl)n+1.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
