Glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase

Class of enzymes

Glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase (EC 2.4.1.266, GpgS protein, GPG synthase, glucosylphosphoglycerate synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name NDP-glucose:3-phospho-D-glycerate 2-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase.[1][2][3][4][5][6] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

NDP-glucose + 3-phospho-D-glycerate NDP + 2-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-phospho-D-glycerate
Quick Facts Identifiers, EC no. ...

The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of 2-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glycerate.
