In enzymology, an erythritol kinase (EC 2.7.1.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + erythritol ADP + D-erythritol 4-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and erythritol, whereas its two products are ADP and D-erythritol 4-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:erythritol 4-phosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called erythritol kinase (phosphorylating).
Structural studies[edit]
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1V5S.
