Metabolite IDPAMDB000402
Identification
Name: Acetylphosphate
Description:Acetylphosphate is an intermediate in taurine and hypotaurine metabolism. It is generated from sulfoacetaldehyde, converted to acetyl-CoA and acetate via phosphate acetyltransferase (EC:2.3.1.8) and acetate kinase (EC:2.7.2.1) respectively. It is also intermediate in pyruvate metabolism. It is generated from pyruvate and the formation is catalyzed by pyruvate oxidase (EC:1.2.3.3). (KEGG)

General function:
Involved in ATP binding
Specific function:
Catalyzes two reactions:the first one is the production of beta-formyl glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR) from formate, ATP and beta GAR; the second, a side reaction, is the production of acetyl phosphate and ADP from acetate and ATP
Gene Name:
purT
Locus Tag:
PA3751
Molecular weight:
42.3 kDa
