EC 2.7.7.3

Accepted name: pantetheine-phosphate adenylyltransferase

Reaction: ATP + pantetheine 4'-phosphate = diphosphate + 3'-dephospho-CoA

Other name(s): dephospho-CoA pyrophosphorylase; pantetheine phosphate adenylyltransferase; dephospho-coenzyme A pyrophosphorylase; 3'-dephospho-CoA pyrophosphorylase

Systematic name: ATP:pantetheine-4'-phosphate adenylyltransferase

Comments: The enzyme from several bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Haemophilus influenzae) has been shown to be bifunctional and also to possess the activity of EC 2.3.1.157, glucosamine-1-phosphate N-acetyltransferase.
