Protein
Cellulose synthase 1 catalytic subunit [UDP-forming]
Organism
Komagataeibacter xylinus
Function
Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase. It polymerizes uridine 5'-diphosphate glucose to cellulose. The thick cellulosic mats generated by this enzyme probably provide a specialized protective environment to the bacterium (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family.
