In [[enzymology]], a '''salicyl-alcohol beta-D-glucosyltransferase''' ({{EC number|2.4.1.172}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:UDP-glucose + salicyl alcohol <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> UDP + salicin

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[UDP-glucose]] and [[salicyl alcohol]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[uridine diphosphate|UDP]] and [[salicin]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[glycosyltransferase]]s, specifically the hexosyltransferases.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''UDP-glucose:salicyl-alcohol beta-D-glucosyltransferase'''. Other names in common use include '''uridine diphosphoglucose-salicyl alcohol 2-glucosyltransferase''', and '''UDPglucose:salicyl alcohol phenyl-glucosyltransferase'''.
