The present invention relates generally to the use of novel UDP-glucosyltransferases enzymes having specific activity towards cannabinoid compounds. The present invention further relates generally to the use of novel UGT enzymes having specific activity towards cannabinoid compounds to generate water-soluble cannabinoid glycoside compounds. 1. A method for producing select water-soluble cannabinoid compounds comprising the step of:providing a yeast cell expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence, operably linked to a promoter, encoding a UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGT) having glycosylation activity towards a cannabinoid having at least one glycosylation site selected from the group consisting of: cannabidiol (CBD), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA); cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabigerolic acid (CBGA);introducing said cannabinoid having at least one glycosylation site to said yeast cell; andglycosylating said cannabinoid forming a cannabinoid glycoside.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of introducing comprises the step of introducing said cannabinoid having at least one glycosylation site to a yeast cell culture.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said UGT comprises a UGT selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NOs. 1-9181.4Pichia pastorisSaccharomyces cerevisiaeKluyveromyces marxianus. The method of claim 1 , wherein said yeast cell comprises a yeast cell selected from the group consisting of: a cell claim 1 , a cell claim 1 , and a cell.5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said nucleotide sequence encoding a heterologous UGT is codon optimized for expression in a yeast cell.6. A method for producing water-soluble cannabinoid compounds comprising:providing a yeast cell expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence, operably linked to a promoter, encoding a UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGT) having glycosylation activity towards a cannabinoid;introducing said cannabinoid having at least one ...
