Definition:

EC Tree > 2 Transferases > 2.7 Transferring phosphorus-containing groups > 2.7.4 Phosphotransferases with a phosphate group as acceptor > 2.7.4.B7 polyphosphate kinase (NTP)
Polyphosphate kinase (NTP) is the Cupriavidus necator polyphosphate-biosynthesis enzyme. It transfers the terminal phosphate from an NTP onto a growing polyphosphate chain, releasing NDP and (phosphate)n+1, accumulating inorganic polyphosphate. Expected in Cupriavidus necator.
