In enzymology a sarsasapogenin 3β-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.193) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-glucose + sarsasapogenin UDP + sarsasapogenin 3-O-β-D-glucosideThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and sarsasapogenin [(3β5β25S)-spirostan-3-ol] whereas its two products are UDP and sarsasapogenin 3-O-β-D-glucoside.The enzyme was first isolated from the root of the common asparagus (Asparagus officinalis).
