| - | It has a fundamental role in the Sucrose flow regulation since it is able to produce Sucrose (used for transportation and stockage) and both ADP-Glucose and UDP-Glucose. It is one of the only four proteins able to synthesize or cleave the Sucrose, thereby Sucrose synthase is implied in many pathways including cell wall, starch and glycoprotein synthesis. | + | It has a fundamental role in the Sucrose flow regulation since it is able to produce Sucrose (used for transportation and stockage) and both ADP-Glucose and UDP-Glucose.
