Phosphoglucan, water dikinase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a phosphoglucan, water dikinase (EC 2.7.9.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + [phospho-alpha-glucan] + H2O
AMP + O-phospho-[phospho-alpha-glucan] + phosphate
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, [[[phospho-alpha-glucan]]], and H2O, whereas its 3 products are AMP, [[O-phospho-[phospho-alpha-glucan]]], and phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with paired acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:phospho-alpha-glucan, water phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include PWD, and OK1.
