In enzymology a sterol 3beta-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.173) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-glucose + a sterol UDP + a sterol 3-beta-D-glucosideThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and sterol whereas its two products are UDP and sterol 3-beta-D-glucoside.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:sterol 3-O-beta-D-glucosyltransferase.
