| Accepted name: |
polyphosphate—glucose phosphotransferase |
| Reaction: |
(phosphate)n + D-glucose = (phosphate)n-1 + D-glucose 6-phosphate |
| Other name(s): |
polyphosphate glucokinase; polyphosphate-D-(+)-glucose-6-phosphotransferase; polyphosphate-glucose 6-phosphotransferase |
| Systematic name: |
polyphosphate:D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
Requires a neutral salt, e.g. KCl, for maximum activity. Also acts on glucosamine. |
