Cyanidin 3-O-Glucosyltransferase is a pivotal Glycan Tool Enzyme that plays a central role in the biocatalytic synthesis of custom cyanidin 3-O-β-D-glucoside, a highly valued anthocyanin derivative renowned for its enhanced stability, bioavailability, and antioxidant properties. As a key player in the glycosylation process, cyanidin 3-O-Glucosyltransferase catalyzes the regioselective transfer of a glucose moiety from a donor substrate to the 3-hydroxyl group of cyanidin, the core aglycone. This enzymatic modification not only improves the solubility and chemical stability of cyanidin but also fine-tunes its biological efficacy, making this Glycosyltransferase superior for applications in nutraceuticals, functional foods, and pharmaceuticals.

Customer Reviews

Precise Targeting
"Using the cyanidin 3-O-Glucosyltransferase in our research has significantly facilitated our study on anthocyanin stability. This enzyme has proven to be a game-changer in our laboratory. Its high catalytic efficiency allows us to rapidly modify anthocyanins, which in turn provides us with more data in a shorter period. Moreover, the enzyme's specificity ensures that we can precisely target the desired glycosylation sites on anthocyanins, leading to more accurate and reliable results in our stability studies."- 4 weeks ago, Dr. Al** S.

Soluble Variant
"We previously struggled with inclusion bodies when expressing cyanidin 3-O-Glucosyltransferase. Inclusion bodies not only reduced the yield of the functional enzyme but also complicated the purification process, adding extra time and cost to our research. However, their engineering service provided us with a variant that remained soluble even at high titers. This soluble variant has greatly improved our production efficiency."- 4 weeks ago, Prof. Ma**
