Diphosphate-glycerol phosphotransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The enzyme characterised from mammals converts glycerol to glycerol 1-phosphate by transferring a phosphate group from pyrophosphoric acid.
This enzyme is a transferase, specifically one transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is diphosphate:glycerol 1-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include PPi-glycerol phosphotransferase, and pyrophosphate-glycerol phosphotransferase.
