Nitrate-transporting ATPase

Class of enzymes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a nitrate-transporting ATPase (EC 3.6.3.26) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ATP + H2O + nitrateout ADP + phosphate + nitratein

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

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 (nitrate-importing).
