Mannosylglycerate synthase (EC 2.4.1.269) is an enzyme with systematic name GDP-mannose:D-glycerate 2-alpha-D-mannosyltransferase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

GDP-mannose + D-glycerate GDP + 2-O-(alpha-D-mannopyranosyl)-D-glycerate

Depending on conditions mannosylglycerate synthase is more or less specific for the GDP-mannose and D-glycerate.
