In [[enzymology]], a '''phosphoramidate-hexose phosphotransferase''' ({{EC number|2.7.1.62}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:phosphoramidate + hexose <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> NH<sub>3</sub> + alpha-D-hexose 1-phosphate

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are phosphoramidate and [[hexose]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[ammonia|NH<sub>3</sub>]] and [[alpha-D-hexose 1-phosphate]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[transferase]]s, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups ([[phosphotransferase]]s) with an alcohol group as acceptor.  The [[List of enzymes|systematic name]] of this enzyme class is '''phosphoramidate:hexose 1-phosphotransferase'''. Other names in common use include '''phosphoramidate-hexose transphosphorylase''', and '''phosphoramidic-hexose transphosphorylase'''.
