Other name(s): uridine diphosphorhamnose-flavonol 3-O-glucoside rhamnosyltransferase; UDP-rhamnose:flavonol 3-O-glucoside rhamnosyltransferase
Systematic name: UDP-L-rhamnose:flavonol-3-O-D-glucoside 6"-O-L-rhamnosyltransferase
Comments: Converts flavonol 3-O-glucosides to 3-O-rutinosides. Also acts, more slowly, on rutin, quercetin 3-O-galactoside and flavonol 3-O-rhamnosides.
