- Alkylglycerol kinase
In
enzymology , an alkylglycerol kinase (EC number|2.7.1.93) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :ATP + 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol ADP + 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and
1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol , whereas its two products are ADP and1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferase s) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include 1-alkylglycerol kinase (phosphorylating), ATP-alkylglycerol phosphotransferase, alkylglycerol phosphotransferase, and ATP: 1-alkyl-sn-glycerol phosphotransferase. This enzyme participates inether lipid metabolism .References
