NOVEL UDP-GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASE DERIVED FROM GINSENG AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glycosyltransferase, and particularly to a novel UDP-glycosyltransferase derived from ginseng and use thereof, a method for preparing glycosylated ginsenoside by converting protopanaxadiol (PPD)-type ginsenoside using the UDP-glycosyltransferase, a composition for converting the PPD-type ginsenoside into glycosylated ginsenoside, comprising the UDP-glycosyltransferase, a transformant or a culture thereof as active ingredients, a method for enhancing the expression of the UDP-glycosyltransferase using MeJA (methyl jasmonate), and a composition for enhancing the expression of the UDP-glycosyltransferase, which comprises MeJA as an active ingredient.
