2.7.1.182

Accepted name:

phytol kinase

Reaction:

CTP + phytol = CDP + phytyl phosphate

Other name(s):

VTE5 (gene name)

Systematic name:

CTP:phytol O-phosphotransferase

Comments:

The enzyme is found in plants and photosynthetic algae [2] and is involved in phytol salvage [1]. It can use UTP as an alternative phosphate donor with lower activity [2].
