In enzymology, a hydroxyethylthiazole kinase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :ATP + 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazole ADP + 4-methyl-5-(2-phosphonooxyethyl)thiazole Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazole, whereas its two products are ADP and 4-methyl-5-(2-phosphonooxyethyl)thiazole. 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:4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazole 2-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include hydroxyethylthiazole kinase (phosphorylating), and 4-methyl-5-(beta-hydroxyethyl)thiazole kinase. This enzyme participates in thiamine metabolism. Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), a required cofactor for many enzymes in the cell, is synthesised ''de novo'' in ''Salmonella typhimurium''. In ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'', hydroxyethylthiazole kinase expression is regulated at the mRNA level by intracellular thiamin pyrophosphate. ==Structural studies== As of late 2007, 6 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes , , , , , and . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hydroxyethylthiazole kinase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
