The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of 2-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glycerate via the two-step pathway in which glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase catalyses the conversion of GDP-glucose and 3-phospho-D-glycerate into 2-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-phospho-D-glycerate, which is then converted to 2-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glycerate by EC 3.1.3.85 glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate phosphatase. The activity is dependent on divalent cations (Mn2+, Co2+, or Mg2+). The enzyme from Persephonella marina shows moderate flexibility on the sugar donor concerning the nucleotide moiety (UDP-glucose, ADP-glucose, GDP-glucose) but is strictly specific for glucose. The enzyme is also strictly specific for 3-phospho-D-glycerate as acceptor . The enzyme from Methanococcoides burtonii is strictly specific for GDP-glucose and 3-phospho-D-glycerate . This enzyme catalyses the first glucosylation step in methylglucose lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in mycobacteria [4,5].

UDP-glucose is the preferred substrate, but it could be partially replaced by ADP-glucose. D-3-phosphoglycerate is the only acceptor for the synthesis of glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate
the enzyme is involved in the phosphorylating pathway for synthesis of the solute mannosylglucosylglycerate. In Petrotoga mobilis two alternative pathways for the synthesis of mannosylglucosylglycerate are proposed. The first one is a a phosphorylating pathway (with a phosphorylated intermediate) from 3-phosphoglycerate and UDP-glucose to the final solute. The second nonphosphorylating pathway (no phosphorylated intermediates) could represent an alternative route for the synthesis of mannosylglucosylglycerate in Petrotoga mobilis that could lead to the direct conversion of glucosylglycerate and GDP-mannose to mannosylglucosylglycerate. Pathway multiplicity likely reflects a crucial role for mannosylglucosylglycerate in the physiology of Petrotoga mobilis mobilis during stress adaptation
