Primary nucleaic acid sequence
The gene sequence can be found through the link by clicking on 'Get selected sequences'.
The same goes for the FFT. Here is the link
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.
