2.4.1.213 |
| Accepted name: |
glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase |
| Reaction: |
ADP-α-D-glucose + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 2-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + ADP |
| Other name(s): |
ADP-glucose:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-β-D-glucosyltransferase (incorrect) |
| Systematic name: |
ADP-α-D-glucose:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-α-D-glucopyranosyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Acts with EC 3.1.3.69 (glucosylglycerol phosphatase) to form glucosylglycerol, an osmolyte that endows cyanobacteria with resistance to salt. |
