Glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase (EC 2.4.1.266, GpgS protein, GPG synthase, glucosylphosphoglycerate synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name NDP-glucose:3-phospho-D-glycerate 2-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase.[1][2] It catalyses the following chemical reaction

2-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-O-phospho-D-glyceric acid

This transfers a glucose unit to 3-phospho-D-glyceric acid to give its glucosyl derivative. The enzyme characterised from Persephonella marina can use GDP-glucose or ADP-glucose in the reaction.[3] However, the enzyme in Methanococcoides burtonii can only use GDP-glucose.[4] The enzyme is also present in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[5][6] In these organisms, a second reaction catalysed by glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate phosphatase forms 2-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glyceric acid by removal of the phosphate group.[7]
