Glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase (original) (raw)

In enzymology, a glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase (EC 2.4.1.213) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction ADP-glucose + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate 2-(beta-D-glucosyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + ADP Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, whereas its two products are and ADP. This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ADP-glucose:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-beta-D-glucosyltransferase.
