2.7.1.213 |
| Accepted name: |
cytidine kinase |
| Reaction: |
ATP + cytidine = ADP + CMP |
| Systematic name: |
ATP:cytidine 5′-phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis, participates in a pathway for nucleoside degradation. The enzyme can also act on deoxycytidine and uridine, but unlike EC 2.7.1.48, uridine kinase, it is most active with cytidine. |
