Guanosine phosphorylase
In enzymology, a guanosine phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- guanosine + phosphate
guanine + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are guanosine and phosphate, whereas its two products are guanine and alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is guanosine:phosphate alpha-D-ribosyltransferase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
