In [[Biology:Enzymology|enzymology]], a '''flavanone 7-O-glucoside 2"-O-beta-L-rhamnosyltransferase''' ({{EC number|2.4.1.236}}) is an [[Biology:Enzyme|enzyme]] that [[Chemistry:Catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[Chemistry:Chemical reaction|chemical reaction]]

:UDP-L-rhamnose + a flavanone 7-O-glucoside <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> UDP + a flavanone 7-O-[beta-L-rhamnosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucoside]

Thus, the two [[Biology:Substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are UDP-L-rhamnose and flavanone 7-O-glucoside, whereas its two [[Chemistry:Product|products]] are [[Chemistry:Uridine diphosphate|UDP]] and flavanone 7-O-[beta-L-rhamnosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-glucoside].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[Biology:Glycosyltransferase|glycosyltransferase]]s, specifically the hexosyltransferases.  The [[Biology:List of enzymes|systematic name]] of this enzyme class is '''UDP-L-rhamnose:flavanone-7-O-glucoside <nowiki>2''-O-beta-L-rhamnosyltransferase</nowiki>'''. Other names in common use include '''UDP-rhamnose:flavanone-7-O-glucoside-2"-O-rhamnosyltransferase''', and '''1->2 UDP-rhamnosyltransferase'''.
