Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a triokinase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + D-glyceraldehyde ADP + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-glyceraldehyde, whereas its two products are ADP and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called triose kinase. This enzyme participates in fructose metabolism.
