Catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose and a nucleotide disphosphate (NDP) into fructose and NDP-glucose; although the reaction is freely reversible in vitro, the physiological reaction seems to be sucrose cleavage. Unlike characterized plant enzymes prefers ADP as a cosubstrate, whereas plants prefer UDP (By similarity). Its preference for ADP over UDP suggests it may directly link sucrose and glycogen metabolism (Probable). an NDP-alpha-D-glucose + D-fructose = a ribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate + H(+) + sucrose Optimum pH is 7.0. Optimum temperature is 80 degrees Celsius. Retains about 40% activity after 15 minutes at 65 degrees Celsius. Homotetramer. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 1 family.
