2.7.3.8 |
| Accepted name: |
ammonia kinase |
| Reaction: |
ATP + NH3 = ADP + phosphoramide |
| Other name(s): |
phosphoramidate-adenosine diphosphate phosphotransferase; phosphoramidate-ADP-phosphotransferase |
| Systematic name: |
ATP:ammonia phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
Has a wide specificity. In the reverse direction, N-phosphoglycine and N-phosphohistidine can also act as phosphate donors, and ADP, dADP, GDP, CDP, dTDP, dCDP, IDP and UDP can act as phosphate acceptors (in decreasing order of activity). |
