Reaction: ATP + 2-phospho-D-glycerate = ADP + 2,3-diphospho-D-glycerate
Other name(s): pgk2 (gene name)
Systematic name: ATP:2-phosphoglycerate 3-phosphotransferase
Comments: The enzyme, found in a number of methanogenic archaeal genera, is involved in the biosynthesis of cyclic 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, a thermoprotectant. Activity is stimulated by potassium ions.
