In enzymology, a monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase (EC 2.4.1.46) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-galactose and 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol, whereas its two products are UDP and 3-beta-D-galactosyl-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-galactose:1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-beta-D-galactosyltransferase.
This enzyme participates in glycerolipid metabolism.
