Glucose-1-Phosphate Adenylyltransferase

ADP-Glucose Pyrophosphorylase; ADP-Glucose Synthase; ADP-Glucose Synthetase; ADPG Synthetase; ADPGlucose Pyrophosphorylase; Adenosine Diphosphate Glucose Pyrophosphorylase; Adenosine Diphosphoglucose Pyrophosphorylase; ADP Glucose Pyrophosphorylase
An ATP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the addition of ADP to alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate to form ADP-glucose and diphosphate. The reaction is the rate-limiting reaction in prokaryotic GLYCOGEN and plant STARCH biosynthesis.
