GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.69, VTC2, VTC5) is an enzyme with systematic name GDP:alpha-L-galactose 1-phosphate guanylyltransferase.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

GDP-L-galactose + phosphate alpha-L-galactose 1-phosphate + GDP

The enzyme catalyses a reaction of the Smirnoff-Wheeler pathway.
