Beta-glucogallin-tetrakisgalloylglucose O-galloyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.143) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction which transfers the fifth and final gallic acid unit to a central glucose molecule to form the gallotannin, pentagalloylglucose.

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from oak (Quercus robur) are glucogallin and 1,2,3,6-tetrakis-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose. Its products are D-glucose and pentagalloylglucose.[1] Gallotannins are widely found in foodstuffs.[2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose:1,2,3,6-tetrakis-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose 4-O-galloyltransferase. Other names in common use include β-glucogallin-tetragalloylglucose 4-galloyltransferase, β-glucogallin:1,2,3,6-tetra-O-galloylglucose, 4-O-galloyltransferase, β-glucogallin:1,2,3,6-tetra-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose, and 4-O-galloyltransferase.[3]
