Maltokinase (EC 2.7.1.175) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP:alpha-maltose 1-phosphotransferase.[1] It catalyses the following chemical reaction
The enzyme characterised from the bacterium, Mycobacterium bovis, converts the disaccharide, maltose, to maltose 1-phosphate by transferring a phosphate group from the cofactor, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The enzyme requires magnesium ions (Mg2+) for activity.[2]
