In enzymology a digalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase (EC 2.4.1.241) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-galactose + 3-(beta-D-galactosyl)-12-diacyl-sn-glycerol UDP + 3-[alpha-D-galactosyl-(1->6)-beta-D-galactosyl]-12-diacyl-sn- glycerolThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-galactose and 3-(beta-D-galactosyl)-12-diacyl-sn-glycerol whereas its 3 products are UDP [[3-[alpha-D-galactosyl-(1->6)-beta-D-galactosyl]-12-diacyl-sn-]] and glycerol.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
