Phosphotransferases

Medical Definition: A rather large group of enzymes comprising not only those transferring phosphate but also diphosphate, nucleotidyl residues, and others. These have also been subdivided according to the acceptor group. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.
Guide Notes: GEN or unspecified; prefer specific groups or specific phosphotransferases
Also Called: Phosphotransferases, ATP
CAS Number: EC 2.7
Phosphotransferases Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Diphosphotransferases - A class of phosphotransferases that catalyzes the transfer of diphosphate-containing groups. EC 2.7.6.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Nucleotidyltransferases - A class of enzymes that transfers nucleotidyl residues. EC 2.7.7.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Phosphotransferases (Alcohol Group Acceptor) - A group of enzymes that transfers a phosphate group onto an alcohol group acceptor. EC 2.7.1.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Phosphotransferases (Carboxyl Group Acceptor) - A class of enzymes that transfers phosphate groups and has a carboxyl group as an acceptor. EC 2.7.2.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Phosphotransferases (Nitrogenous Group Acceptor) - A group of enzymes that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group onto a nitrogenous group acceptor. EC 2.7.3.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Phosphotransferases (Paired Acceptors) - A group of enzymes that transfers two phosphate groups from a donor such as ATP to two different acceptors. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.9.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Phosphotransferases (Phosphate Group Acceptor) - A group of enzymes that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group onto a phosphate group acceptor. EC 2.7.4.
