EC 2.7.1.213
Names
Accepted name:
cytidine kinase
Systematic name:
ATP:cytidine 5'-phosphotransferase
Reaction
- ATP + cytidine = ADP + CMP
Comments:
The enzyme, characterized from the archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis, participates in a pathway for nucleoside degradation. The enzyme can also act on deoxycytidine and uridine, but unlike EC 2.7.1.48, uridine kinase, it is most active with cytidine.
