This enzyme [EC 2.7.7.28], also known as NDP-hexose pyrophosphorylase, catalyzes the reaction of a nucleoside triphosphate with a hexose 1-phosphate to produce a NDP-hexose and pyrophosphate (or, diphosphate). In the reverse reaction the NDP-hexose can be, in decreasing order of activity, guanosine, inosine, and adenosine diphosphate hexoses in which the sugar is either glucose or mannose.
