2-deoxystreptamine glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.284, kanF (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-alpha-D-glucose:2-deoxystreptamine 6-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

UDP-alpha-D-glucose + 2-deoxystreptamine [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] UDP + 2'-deamino-2'-hydroxyparomamine

This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of kanamycin B and kanamycin C.
