In enzymology a cellulose synthase (UDP-forming) (EC 2.4.1.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-glucose + (14-beta-D-glucosyl)n UDP + (14-beta-D-glucosyl)n+1Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and a chain of 14-beta-D-glucosyl residues whereas its two products are UDP and an elongated chain of glucosyl residues.
