Accepted name: |
membrane-oligosaccharide glycerophosphotransferase |
Reaction: |
Transfer of a glycerophospho group from one membrane-derived oligosaccharide to another |
Other name(s): |
periplasmic phosphoglycerotransferase; phosphoglycerol cyclase |
Systematic name: |
membrane-derived-oligosaccharide-6-(glycerophospho)-D-glucose:membrane-derived-oligosaccharide-D-glucose glycerophosphotransferase |
Comments: |
β-Linked glucose residues in simple glucosides, such as gentiobiose, can act as acceptors. In the presence of low concentrations of acceptor, free cyclic 1,2-phosphoglycerol is formed. |
