EC 2.7.2.2 Details
EC number
2.7.2.2
Accepted name
carbamate kinase
Reaction
ATP + NH3 + hydrogencarbonate = ADP + carbamoyl phosphate + H2O (overall reaction);;(1a) ATP + carbamate = ADP + carbamoyl phosphate;;(1b) NH3 + hydrogencarbonate = carbamate + H2O (spontaneous)
Other name(s)
CKase, carbamoyl phosphokinase, carbamyl phosphokinase
Systematic name
ATP:carbamate phosphotransferase
CAS registry number
9026-69-1
Comment
The enzyme catalyses the reversible conversion of carbamoyl phosphate and ADP to ATP and carbamate, which hydrolyses to ammonia and hydrogencarbonate. The physiological role of the enzyme is to generate ATP.
