Glycosyltransferases. Glycoside Transferases . Transferases, Glycoside . Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of glycosyl groups to an acceptor. Most often another carbohydrate molecule acts as an acceptor, but inorganic phosphate can also act as an acceptor, such as in the case of PHOSPHORYLASES. Some of the enzymes in this group also catalyze hydrolysis, which can be regarded as transfer of a glycosyl group from the donor to water. Subclasses include the HEXOSYLTRANSFERASES; PENTOSYLTRANSFERASES; SIALYLTRANSFERASES; and those transferring other glycosyl groups. EC 2.4. . 0.81
Peptidoglycan Glycosyltransferase. Peptidoglycan TGase . Peptidoglycan Transglycosylase . Glycosyltransferase, Peptidoglycan . Transglycosylase, Peptidoglycan . A hexosyltransferase involved in the transfer of disaccharide molecules to the peptidoglycan structure of the CELL WALL SKELETON. It plays an important role in the genesis of the bacterial CELL WALL. . 0.63
