Alpha,alpha-trehalose synthase (EC 2.4.1.245, trehalose synthase, trehalose synthetase, UDP-glucose:glucose 1-glucosyltransferase, TreT, PhGT) is an enzyme with systematic name ADP-glucose:D-glucose 1-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

ADP-glucose + D-glucose ⇌ alpha,alpha-trehalose + ADP

This enzyme requires Mg²⁺ for maximal activity.
