IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 2.7.1.77

Accepted name: nucleoside phosphotransferase

Reaction: a nucleotide + a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside = a nucleoside + a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-phosphate

Other name(s): nonspecific nucleoside phosphotransferase; nucleotide:3'-deoxynucleoside 5'-phosphotransferase

Systematic name: nucleotide:nucleoside 5'-phosphotransferase

Comments: Phenyl phosphate and nucleoside 3'-phosphates can act as donors, although not so well as nucleoside 5'-phosphates. Nucleosides as well as 2'-deoxyribonucleosides can act as acceptors.
