Reaction(KEGG) R07256 > R00806 R06036(G) R08676
Show
Substrate NDP-glucose [CPD:C15541];
D-fructose [CPD:C00095]
Product NDP [CPD:C00454];
sucrose [CPD:C00089]
Comment Although UDP is generally considered to be the preferred nucleoside
diphosphate for sucrose synthase, numerous studies have shown that
ADP serves as an effective acceptor molecule to produce ADP-glucose
[3-9]. Sucrose synthase has a dual role in producing both
UDP-glucose (necessary for cell wall and glycoprotein biosynthesis)
and ADP-glucose (necessary for starch biosynthesis) [10].
