2.7.4.1 |
| Accepted name: |
ATP-polyphosphate phosphotransferase |
| Reaction: |
ATP + (phosphate)n = ADP + (phosphate)n+1 |
| Other name(s): |
polyphosphate kinase 1; ppk1 (gene name); polyphosphate kinase (ambiguous); polyphosphoric acid kinase (ambiguous) |
| Systematic name: |
ATP:polyphosphate phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of most of the cellular polyphosphate, using the terminal phosphate of ATP as substrate. |
