Glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase

Glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase

In enzymology, a glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase (EC number|2.4.1.213) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:ADP-glucose + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate ightleftharpoons 2-(beta-D-glucosyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + ADP

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ADP-glucose and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, whereas its two products are 2-(beta-D-glucosyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate 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.
