In enzymology, a membrane-oligosaccharide glycerophosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.21) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction in which a glycerophospho group is transferred from one membrane-derived oligosaccharide to another.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring non-standard substituted phosphate groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is membrane-derived-oligosaccharide-6-(glycerophospho)-D-glucose:membra ne-derived-oligosaccharide-D-glucose glycerophosphotransferase. Other names in common use include periplasmic phosphoglycerotransferase, and phosphoglycerol cyclase.
