EC 2.7.4.4

Accepted name: nucleoside-phosphate kinase

Reaction: ATP + nucleoside phosphate = ADP + nucleoside diphosphate

Other names: NMP-kinase

Systematic name: ATP:nucleoside-phosphate phosphotransferase

Comments: Many nucleotides can act as acceptors; other nucleoside triphosphates can act instead of ATP.
