Undecaprenyl-phosphate glucose phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.31, GumD, undecaprenylphosphate glucosylphosphate transferase) is an enzyme with systematic name UDP-glucose:ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyl-phosphate glucose phosphotransferase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

UDP-glucose + ditrans, octacis-undecaprenyl phosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] UMP + alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-diphospho-ditrans, octacis-undecaprenol

The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of xanthan.
