Triokinase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Triokinase (EC 2.7.1.28) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The enzyme characterised from liver converts D-glyceraldehyde to D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by transferring a phosphate group from the cofactor, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).[1][2]
This enzyme is a transferase, specifically one transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called triose kinase. It participates in fructose metabolism.[3]
