In enzymology, a guanylate kinase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :ATP + GMP ADP + GDP Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and GMP, whereas its two products are ADP and GDP. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with a phosphate group as acceptor. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism. Guanylate kinase catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of GMP into GDP.〔 It is essential for recycling GMP and indirectly, cGMP. In prokaryotes (such as Escherichia coli), lower eukaryotes (such as yeast) and in vertebrates, GK is a highly conserved monomeric protein of about 200 amino acids. GK has been shown to be structurally similar to protein A57R (or SalG2R) from various strains of Vaccinia virus. == Nomenclature == The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:(d)GMP phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include" * deoxyguanylate kinase, * 5'-GMP kinase, * GMP kinase, * guanosine monophosphate kinase, and * ATP:GMP phosphotransferase. 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「guanylate kinase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
