Loliose synthase is a plant glycosyltransferase characterized from Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass). It transfers galactose from UDP-galactose onto sucrose, releasing UDP and forming loliose, a galactosylsucrose oligosaccharide involved in fructan and water-soluble carbohydrate storage in temperate grasses.
