This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cellobiose:phosphate alpha-D-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2006, two

structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2CQS and 2CQT
