About Phosphoglycerate kinase

Phosphoglycerate kinase is an enzyme from Transferase family (EC 2.7.2.3), with molecular weight within 35-45kDa range, that transfers a phosphate group from 1,3-biphosphoglycerate to ADP, forming ATP and 3-Phosphoglycerate. The overall reaction can be written as 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate + ADP <=> 3-Phosphoglycerate + ATP

Systematic name for Phosphoglycerate kinase is ATP:3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-phosphotransferase , but in literature other names are also acceptable: phosphoglycerokinase; glycerophosphate kinase; phosphoglyceric acid kinase; phosphoglyceric kinase; 3-phosphoglycerate kinase; 3-phosphoglyceric kinase; 3-phosphoglyceric acid kinase; 3-phosphoglycerate phosphokinase; ; 3-phosphoglyceric acid phosphokinase; ATP:D-3-phosphoglycerate 1-phosphotransferaseglycerate 3-phosphate kinase; ATP-3-phospho-D-glycerate-1-phosphotransferase; 3-PGK and PGK
