Cl-transporting ATPase explained

chloride-transporting ATPase
Ec Number:	3.6.3.11
Go Code:	0008555

In enzymology, a Cl-transporting ATPase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ATP + H₂O + Cl⁻_out

\rightleftharpoons ADP + phosphate + Cl⁻_in

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, H₂O, and Cl^-, whereas its 3 products are ADP, phosphate, and Cl^-.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides to catalyse transmembrane movement of substances. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP phosphohydrolase (Cl⁻-importing). Other names in common use include Cl⁻-translocating ATPase, and Cl⁻-motive ATPase.
