Phosphoglucan, water dikinase

Phosphoglucan, water dikinase

In enzymology, a phosphoglucan, water dikinase (EC number|2.7.9.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:ATP + [phospho-alpha-glucan] + H2O ightleftharpoons AMP + O-phospho- [phospho-alpha-glucan] + phosphate

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, [phospho-alpha-glucan] , and H2O, whereas its 3 products are AMP, [O-phospho- [phospho-alpha-glucan] , and phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with paired acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:phospho-alpha-glucan, water phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include PWD, and OK1.
