1,3-Beta-glucan synthase
CLASS OF ENZYMES
1,3-b-glucan synthase; 1,3-β glucan synthase; 1,3-b glucan synthase; EC 2.4.1.34; 1,3-beta-glucan synthase; GS-II; UDP-glucose:(1-3)-beta-D-glucan 3-beta-D-glucosyltransferase; Β-1,3-glucan synthase
1,3-Beta-glucan synthase is a glucosyltransferase enzyme involved in the generation of beta-glucan in fungi. It serves as a pharmacological target for antifungal drugs such as caspofungin, anidulafungin, and micafungin, deemed 1,3-Beta-glucan synthase inhibitors.
