- ADP-sugar diphosphatase
In
enzymology , an ADP-sugar diphosphatase (EC number|3.6.1.21) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :ADP-sugar + H2O AMP + alpha-D-aldose 1-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
ADP-sugar and H2O, whereas its two products are AMP andalpha-D-aldose 1-phosphate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ADP-sugar sugarphosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include ADP-sugar pyrophosphatase, and adenosine diphosphosugar pyrophosphatase. This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways:fructose and mannose metabolism ,purine metabolism , andstarch and sucrose metabolism .References
