Sysname
UDP-alpha-D-galactose:1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-beta-D-galactosyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
UDP-alpha-D-galactose + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol = UDP + 3-beta-D-galactosyl-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol [RN:R02691]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
UDP-alpha-D-galactose [CPD:C00052];
1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol [CPD:C00641]
Product
UDP [CPD:C00015];
3-beta-D-galactosyl-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol
Comment
This enzyme adds only one galactosyl group to the diacylglycerol; EC 2.4.1.241, digalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase, adds a galactosyl group to the product of the above reaction. There are three isoforms in Arabidopsis that can be divided into two types, A-type (MGD1) and B-type (MGD2 and MGD3). MGD1 is the isoform responsible for the bulk of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) synthesis in Arabidopsis [4].
