KEGG   ENZYME: 2.7.4.26Help
Entry
EC 2.7.4.26                 Enzyme                                 

Name
isopentenyl phosphate kinase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring phosphorus-containing groups;
Phosphotransferases with a phosphate group as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
ATP:isopentenyl phosphate phosphotransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
ATP + isopentenyl phosphate = ADP + isopentenyl diphosphate [RN:R10093]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
ATP [CPD:C00002];
isopentenyl phosphate [CPD:C20345]
Product
ADP [CPD:C00008];
isopentenyl diphosphate [CPD:C00129]
Comment
The enzyme is involved in the mevalonate pathway in Archaea [1]. The activity has also been identified in the plant Mentha piperita (peppermint) [2]. It is strictly specific for ATP but can use other phosphate acceptors such as dimethylallyl phosphate, geranyl phosphate, or fosfomycin.
