Salicyl-alcohol beta-D-glucosyltransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Gardenia jasminoides are salicyl alcohol and UDP-glucose. Its products are salicin and uridine diphosphate (UDP).
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:salicyl-alcohol beta-D-glucosyltransferase. Other names in common use include uridine diphosphoglucose-salicyl alcohol 2-glucosyltransferase, and UDPglucose:salicyl alcohol phenyl-glucosyltransferase.
