Pyruvate kinase
Definition:
EC Tree > 2 Transferases > 2.7 Transferring phosphorus-containing groups > 2.7.1 Phosphotransferases with an alcohol group as acceptor > 2.7.1.40 pyruvate kinase
Pyruvate kinase is the ATP-generating glycolytic kinase. It transfers the beta-phosphoryl from PEP onto ADP (or UDP/GDP/CDP/IDP/dADP), releasing pyruvate and ATP, the final substrate-level phosphorylation step of glycolysis. It also phosphorylates hydroxylamine and fluoride in the presence of CO2. It occurs in viruses and cellular organisms.
