| Type: | Family | Name: | GDP-L-galactose/GDP-D-glucose phosphorylase |
| Description: | GDP-D-glucose phosphorylase 1 (GDPGP1) is a specific and highly efficient GDP-D-glucose phosphorylase regulating the levels of GDP-D-glucose in cells []. This family also includes the GDP-L-galactose/GDP-D-glucose phosphorylases VTC2 and VTC2L (VTC5) from Arabidopsis, which use preferentially GDP-L-galactose and GDP-D-glucose as substrates and are part of the Smirnoff-Wheeler pathway for ascorbate biosynthesis in plants [, ]. | Short Name: | GDPGP |
