2.7.1.27 |
| Accepted name: |
erythritol kinase (D-erythritol 4-phosphate-forming) |
| Reaction: |
ATP + erythritol = ADP + D-erythritol 4-phosphate |
| Other name(s): |
erythritol kinase (phosphorylating) (ambiguous) |
| Systematic name: |
ATP:erythritol 4-phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme has been characterized from the bacterium Propionibacterium acidipropionici (previously known as Propionibacterium pentosaceum). cf. EC 2.7.1.215, erythritol kinase (L-erythritol 4-phosphate-forming). |
