| Function | Glucosyltransferase involved in the last step of benzoxazinoid glucoside biosynthesis. Catalyzes the glucosylation of hydroxamic acids utilizing UDP-glucose as glucose doner, reducing the toxicity of these natural insecticides for storage. Can use DIMBOA and DIBOA as substrates, HMBOA (2-hydroxy-7- methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one) and HBOA (2-hydroxy-2H-1,4- benzoxazin-3(4H)-one) with a lower efficiency, but not indole acetic acid or quercitin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11851909}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed at the same levels in roots and shoots. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11851909}. |
