Reaction: ADP-α-D-glucose + D-glucose 6-phosphate = ADP + α,α-trehalose 6-phosphate
Other name(s): otsA (gene name); ADP-glucose —glucose-phosphate glucosyltransferase
Systematic name: ADP-α-D-glucose:D-glucose-6-phosphate 1-α-D-glucosyltransferase (configuration-retaining)
Comments: The enzyme has been reported from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and from mycobacteria. The enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis can also use UDP-α-D-glucose, but the activity with ADP-α-D-glucose, which is considered the main substrate in vivo, is higher.
