:

Acetate kinase

Description:
Acetate kinase, with the CAS number 9027-42-3, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of acetate in various organisms. It catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to acetate, resulting in the formation of acetyl phosphate and ADP (adenosine diphosphate). This enzyme is typically found in bacteria and some archaea, where it is involved in energy production and the regulation of metabolic pathways. Acetate kinase is characterized by its specificity for acetate as a substrate and its dependence on ATP for activity. The enzyme is often studied in the context of microbial metabolism and bioenergy applications, as it is integral to the conversion of organic substrates into usable energy forms. Its activity can be influenced by various factors, including pH, temperature, and the concentration of substrates and products. Understanding acetate kinase is important for biotechnological applications, including fermentation processes and the development of biofuels.
