Glucosylglycerate synthase explained

Glucosylglycerate synthase
Ec Number:2.4.1.268

Glucosylglycerate synthase (Ggs (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name ADP-glucose:D-glycerate 2-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase.[1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

\rightleftharpoons

2-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glycerate + ADP

Persephonella marina possesses two enzymatic systems for the synthesis of glucosylglycerate.
