2.7.2.7 |
| Accepted name: |
butyrate kinase |
| Reaction: |
ATP + butanoate = ADP + butanoyl phosphate |
| Systematic name: |
ATP:butanoate 1-phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme from Clostridium sp. also acts, more slowly, on pentanoate and propanoate, and on some branched-chain fatty acids (cf. EC 2.7.1.14 sedoheptulokinase). |
