Abstract
Steryl glucoside was synthesized using a particulate enzyme preparation from immature soybean seeds. The identification of this steryl glucoside is described. Some properties, and the subcellular localization of the enzyme are also reported. UDP-glucose and TDP-glucose served as glucosyl donors; the latter was 40% as effective as the former as a glucosyl donor. None of the other nucleotide glucoses tested nor UDP-glucuronic acid was active as a glycosyl donor.
