ADP-specific glucokinase

ADP-specific glucokinase

In enzymology, an ADP-specific glucokinase (EC number|2.7.1.147) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:ADP + D-glucose ightleftharpoons AMP + D-glucose 6-phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ADP and D-glucose, whereas its two products are AMP and D-glucose 6-phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ADP:D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called ADP-dependent glucokinase.

tructural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB link|1GC5.
