EC 2.4.1.137

Accepted name: sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-α-galactosyltransferase

Reaction: UDP-α-D-galactose + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = UDP + 2-(α-D-galactosyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate

Other name(s): floridoside-phosphate synthase; UDP-galactose:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate-2-D-galactosyl transferase; FPS; UDP-galactose, sn-3-glycerol phosphate:1→2' galactosyltransferase; floridoside phosphate synthetase; floridoside phosphate synthase; UDP-galactose:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-α-D-galactosyltransferase

Systematic name: UDP-α-D-galactose:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-α-D-galactosyltransferase

Comments: The product is hydrolysed by a phosphatase to floridoside (cf. EC 2.4.1.96 sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 1-galactosyltransferase).
