In enzymology, a glycerol-3-phosphate-glucose phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.142) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + D-glucose glycerol + D-glucose 6-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and D-glucose, whereas its two products are glycerol and D-glucose 6-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sn-glycerol-3-phosphate:D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase.
