In enzymology a hydroxycinnamate 4-beta-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.126) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-glucose + trans-4-hydroxycinnamate UDP + 4-O-beta-D-glucosyl-4-hydroxycinnamateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and trans-4-hydroxycinnamate (p-coumaric acid) whereas its two products are UDP and 4-O-beta-D-glucosyl-4-hydroxycinnamate.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
