Tomato UDP-Glucose Sterol Glycosyltransferases: A Family of Developmental and Stress Regulated Genes that Encode Cytosolic and Membrane-Associated Forms of the Enzyme.
Sterol glycosyltransferases (SGTs) catalyze the glycosylation of the free hydroxyl group at C-Three place of sterols to supply sterol glycosides. Glycosylated sterols and free sterols are primarily situated in cell membranes the place together with different membrane-bound lipids play a key function in modulating their properties and functioning. In distinction to most plant species, these of the genus …
