| EC |
2.5.1.27 |
| Accepted name: |
adenylate dimethylallyltransferase (AMP-dependent) |
| Reaction: |
prenyl diphosphate + AMP = diphosphate + N6-prenyladenosine 5′-phosphate |
|

| Glossary: |
prenyl = 3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl = dimethylallyl (ambiguous) |
| Other name(s): |
cytokinin synthase (ambiguous); isopentenyltransferase (ambiguous); 2-isopentenyl-diphosphate:AMP Δ2-isopentenyltransferase; adenylate isopentenyltransferase (ambiguous); IPT; adenylate dimethylallyltransferase; dimethylallyl-diphosphate:AMP dimethylallyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
prenyl-diphosphate:AMP prenyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Involved in the biosynthesis of cytokinins in plants. Some isoforms from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana are specific for AMP while others also have the activity of EC 2.5.1.112, adenylate dimethylallyltransferase (ADP/ATP-dependent). |
