Glycerol-3-phosphate-glucose phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.142) is an enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction that transfers a phosphate group from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to D-glucose, giving glycerol and glucose 6-phosphate:

The enzyme was characterised from Trypanosoma brucei brucei.[1]

This enzyme is a transferase, specifically one transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sn-glycerol-3-phosphate:D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase.[2]
