GDP-D-glucose phosphorylase
GDP-D-glucose phosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.78) is an enzyme with systematic name GDP:alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate guanylyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- GDP-alpha-D-glucose + phosphate
alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate + GDP
The enzyme may be involved in prevention of misincorporation of glucose in place of mannose residues into glycoconjugates.
