ADP-specific glucokinase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, an ADP-specific glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.147) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ADP + D-glucose AMP + D-glucose 6-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ADP and D-glucose, whereas its two products are AMP and D-glucose 6-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ADP:D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called ADP-dependent glucokinase.
