In [[enzymology]], a '''glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase''' ({{EC number|2.4.1.213}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:ADP-glucose + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> 2-(beta-D-glucosyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + ADP

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[ADP-glucose]] and [[sn-glycerol 3-phosphate]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[2-(beta-D-glucosyl)-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate]] and [[adenosine diphosphate|ADP]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[glycosyltransferase]]s, specifically the hexosyltransferases.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''ADP-glucose:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-beta-D-glucosyltransferase'''.
