Enzyme Information

2.4.1.21
Starch synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P0A3F3
ADP-alpha-D-glucose + ((1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n) = ADP + ((1->4)-alpha- D-glucosyl)(n+1).
-!- The description (accepted name) varies according to the source of the enzyme and the nature of its synthetic product, e.g. starch synthase, bacterial glycogen synthase. -!- A similar enzyme utilizes UDP-alpha-D-glucose (cf. EC 2.4.1.11).
