In enzymology, a glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Contents

dTTP + alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate diphosphate + dTDP-glucose

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are dTTP and alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate, whereas its two products are pyrophosphate and dTDP-glucose. [1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, to be specific, those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways: nucleotide sugars metabolism, streptomycin biosynthesis, and polyketide sugar unit biosynthesis. [2] [3]

Nomenclature

The systematic name of this enzyme class is dTTP:alpha-D-glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase. Other names in common use include:
