| Accepted name: |

| Reaction: |
ATP + 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl phosphate = ADP + 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl diphosphate |

| Other name(s): |
ATP:isopentenyl phosphate phosphotransferase |
| Systematic name: |
ATP:3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl-phosphate phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme is involved in the mevalonate pathway in Archaea [1]. The activity has also been identified in the plant Mentha piperita (peppermint) [2]. It is strictly specific for ATP but can use other phosphate acceptors such as prenyl phosphate, geranyl phosphate, or fosfomycin. |
