Allose kinase
In enzymology, an allose kinase (EC 2.7.1.55) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + D-allose
ADP + D-allose 6-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-allose, whereas its two products are ADP and D-allose 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 ATP:D-allose 6-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include allokinase (phosphorylating), allokinase, D-allokinase, and D-allose-6-kinase.
