Biosynthesis of Umbelliferose in Aegopodium podagraria1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The following reaction leading to the synthesis of the trisaccharide umbelliferose was demonstrated in an enzyme preparation from leaves of Aegopodium podagraria L.: sucrose + UDP-gal-14C → umbelliferose-14C + UDP. Neither galactinol nor galactose 1-phosphate could replace UDP-gal. Among 10 different sugars tested only sucrose was a suitable galatosyl acceptor.
