comment
  • FUNCTION Probable catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase terminal complexes ('rosettes'), required for beta-1,4-glucan microfibril crystallization, a major mechanism of the cell wall formation.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl](n) + UDP-alpha-D-glucose = [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl](n+1) + UDP + H(+)COFACTOR Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit.PATHWAY Glycan metabolism; plant cellulose biosynthesis.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. Plant cellulose synthase subfamily.
