A multifunctional galactinol synthase catalyzes the synthesis of fagopyritol A1 and fagopyritol B1 in buckwheat seed.
2005-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Fagopyritols are galactosyl cyclitols in buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench, Polygonaceae) seeds with structural similarities to a putative insulin mediator deficient in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and polycystic ovary syndrome. Based on the assumption that the multifunctional enzyme galactinol synthase (GolS, UDP-galactose:myo-inositol galactosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.123) may have homology to the...
