Comments: This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of factor 420, a redox-active cofactor, in methanogenic archaea and certain bacteria. The specific reaction catalysed in vivo is determined by the availability of substrate, which in turn is determined by the enzyme present in the organism - EC 2.7.7.68.html, 2-phospho-L-lactate guanylyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.105, phosphoenolpyruvate guanylyltransferase, or EC 2.7.7.106.html, 3-phospho-D-glycerate guanylyltransferase.
