In enzymology a procollagen glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.66) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-glucose + 5-(D-galactosyloxy)-L-lysine-procollagen UDP + 12-D-glucosyl-5-D-(galactosyloxy)-L-lysine-procollagenThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and 5-(D-galactosyloxy)-L-lysine-procollagen whereas its two products are UDP and 12-D-glucosyl-5-D-(galactosyloxy)-L-lysine-procollagen.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
