Primary nucleaic acid sequence
Description of function
Sucrose:sucrose fructosyltransferase (SST) is one out of two necessary enzymes to produce inulin. The function of SST is to make a tri-saccharide with sucrose as substrate. Two molecules of sucrose is transformed to either 1-kestose or neokestose which is a precursor to inulin. Fructan:Fructan fructosyltransferase (FFT) is the next necessary enzyme in inulin production. This enzyme has the ability to polymerize the tri-saccharide SST made and elongate the chain with fructose molecules. Both enzymes is from the glycosyltransferase family and are originally expressed in some plants.
