Glucose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.34) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The enzyme characterised from mast cell tumors combines guanosine triphosphate and glucose 1-phosphate to give GDP-glucose, with pyrophosphate (PPi) as a byproduct.[1][2] In Streptomyces venezuelae this reaction is part of the biosynthetic pathway to trehalose 6-phosphate.[3]

This enzyme is a transferase, specifically one transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is GTP:alpha-D-glucose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase. Other names in common use include GDP glucose pyrophosphorylase, and guanosine diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase.[4]
