CD Definition:
Guanosine monophosphate kinase (GMPK, EC 2.7.4.8), also known as guanylate kinase (GKase), catalyzes the reversible phosphoryl transfer from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to guanosine monophosphate (GMP) to yield adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and guanosine diphosphate (GDP). It plays an essential role in the biosynthesis of guanosine triphosphate (GTP). This enzyme is also important for the activation of some antiviral and anticancer agents, such as acyclovir, ganciclovir, carbovir, and thiopurines.
