Name
ammonia kinase;
phosphoramidate-adenosine diphosphate phosphotransferase;
phosphoramidate-ADP-phosphotransferase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring phosphorus-containing groups;

BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
ATP:ammonia phosphotransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
ATP + NH3 = ADP + phosphoramide [RN:
R00141
]
Reaction(KEGG)

Product
ADP [CPD:
C00008

]
Comment
Has a wide specificity. In the reverse direction, N-phosphoglycine and N-phosphohistidine can also act as phosphate donors, and ADP, dADP, GDP, CDP, dTDP, dCDP, IDP and UDP can act as phosphate acceptors (in decreasing order of activity).
