Glossary: anthocyanidin 3-O-β-D-sambubioside = anthocyanidin 3-O-(β-D-xylosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucoside)
Other name(s): uridine 5'-diphosphate-xylose:anthocyanidin 3-O-glucose-xylosyltransferase; UGT79B1
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-xylose:anthocyanidin-3-O-β-D-glucoside 2'''-O-xylosyltransferase
Comments: Isolated from the plants Matthiola incana (stock) [1] and Arabidopsis thaliana (mouse-eared cress) [2]. The enzyme has similar activity with the 3-glucosides of pelargonidin, cyanidin, delphinidin, quercetin and kaempferol as well as with cyanidin 3-O-rhamnosyl-(1→6)-glucoside and cyanidin 3-O-(6-acylglucoside). There is no activity with other UDP-sugars or with cyanidin 3,5-diglucoside.
