In enzymology a monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase (EC 2.4.1.46) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-galactose + 12-diacyl-sn-glycerol UDP + 3-beta-D-galactosyl-12-diacyl-sn-glycerolThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-galactose and 12-diacyl-sn-glycerol whereas its two products are UDP and 3-beta-D-galactosyl-12-diacyl-sn-glycerol.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
