Dephospho-(reductase kinase) kinase explained

dephospho-[reductase kinase] kinase
Ec Number:2.7.11.3
Cas Number:72060-33-4
Go Code:0047848

In enzymology, a dephospho-[reductase kinase] kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ATP + dephospho-

\rightleftharpoons

ADP +

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and dephospho-, whereas its two products are ADP and .

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring a phosphate group to the sidechain oxygen atom of serine or threonine residues in proteins (protein-serine/threonine kinases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:dephospho- phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include AMP-activated kinase, AMP-activated protein kinase kinase, hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase kinase kinase, hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase kinase kinase, (phosphorylating), reductase kinase, reductase kinase kinase, and STK30.
