  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Bifidobacterium bifidum are lacto-N-biose (β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) and orthophosphate (Pi). Its products are galactose 1-phosphate and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.[1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-hexosamine:phosphate galactosyltransferase.[2]
