Description

Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are a large family of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a sugar moiety from an activated donor glycoside onto saccharide and nonsaccharide acceptors. Glycosyltransferases are classified into groups based on their nucleotide sugar donor specificities. (Adapted from PMID:12691742).
