This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring non-standard substituted phosphate groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is membrane-derived-oligosaccharide-6-(glycerophospho)-D-glucose:membra ne-derived-oligosaccharide-D-glucose glycerophosphotransferase. Other names in common use include periplasmic phosphoglycerotransferase, and phosphoglycerol cyclase.
