Glycerate 2-kinase (EC 2.7.1.165, D-glycerate-2-kinase, glycerate kinase (2-phosphoglycerate forming), ATP:(R)-glycerate 2-phosphotransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP:D-glycerate 2-phosphotransferase.[1] It catalyses the following chemical reaction

The enzyme first characterised from Hyphomicrobium methylovorum converts D-glyceric acid to 2-phospho-D-glyceric acid by transferring a phosphate group from the cofactor, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).[2] It has been found in many other organisms, including Escherichia coli,[3] Thermoplasma acidophilum,[4] Pyrococcus horikoshii,[5], Picrophilus torridus,[6] and Sulfolobus tokodaii.[7]

Glycerate 2-kinase is a key enzyme in the nonphosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff pathway in archaea.[6][7]
