Dolichyl-diphosphate—polyphosphate phosphotransferase
In enzymology, a dolichyl-diphosphate-polyphosphate phosphotransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are dolichyl diphosphate and n, whereas its two products are dolichyl phosphate and n+1.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups with a phosphate group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dolichyl-diphosphate:polyphosphate phosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called dolichylpyrophosphate:polyphosphate phosphotransferase.
