In enzymology a sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-alpha-galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.137) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-galactose + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate UDP + 2-(alpha-D-galactosyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-galactose and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate whereas its two products are UDP and 2-(alpha-D-galactosyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases.
