Deoxynucleoside kinase
Definition:
EC Tree > 2 Transferases > 2.7 Transferring phosphorus-containing groups > 2.7.1 Phosphotransferases with an alcohol group as acceptor > 2.7.1.145 deoxynucleoside kinase
Deoxynucleoside kinase is a broad-specificity fruit-fly deoxyribonucleoside salvage kinase. It phosphorylates all four common 2'-deoxyribonucleosides (deoxyadenosine, deoxyguanosine, thymidine and deoxycytidine) at the 5'-hydroxyl, releasing ADP and the corresponding 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-phosphate. It differs from the narrower Drosophila enzymes EC 2.7.1.76 and EC 2.7.1.113. It occurs in viruses and cellular organisms.
