Reaction: triphosphate + [microsomal-membrane protein] = diphosphate + phospho-[microsomal-membrane protein]
Other name(s): diphosphate:microsomal-membrane-protein O-phosphotransferase (erroneous); DiPPT (erroneous); pyrophosphate:protein phosphotransferase (erroneous); diphosphateÑprotein phosphotransferase (erroneous); diphosphate:[microsomal-membrane-protein] O-phosphotransferase (erroneous)
Systematic name: triphosphate:[microsomal-membrane-protein] phosphotransferase
Comments: This enzyme was originally thought to use diphosphate as substrate [1] but this has since been disproved [2]. The activity is observed as the second part of a biphasic reaction after depletion of ATP. Tripolyphosphate is a contaminant of [γ-32P]ATP.
