Function
Cellulose synthase has two main jobs. The first of these two being the synthesis or creation of the polysaccharide cellulose and the second job of cellulose synthase is to create the crystalline microfibril structure. Cellulose is one of the main components in the cell wall and is responsible for protecting the cell from unwarranted pathogens that might try and harm the cell. The overall shape and form of the cell , as well as the containment of water within the cell.
Disease
Relevance
Why is cellulose synthase so important? Cellular synthase is an enzyme that helps form the structure of cellulose . Cellulose is a polymer which is composed of many other homopolymers. Cellulose has many important jobs within a cell that without cellulose the cell could not function. Things like the formation of the cell wall which is vital to the life of a plant cell are all dependent on they synthesis of cellulose.
