Translocase

Several of these involve the hydrolysis of ATP and had been previously classified as ATPases (EC 3.6.3.-), although the hydrolytic reaction is not their primary function.

This is the case of ascorbate ferrireductase: In which the enzyme only transports an electron in the catalysation of an oxidoreductase reaction between a molecule and an inorganic cation located on different sides of the membrane.

[6] Translocases biological importance relies primarily on their critical function, in the way that they provide movement across the cell's membrane in many cellular processes that are substantial, such as: The enzyme subclasses designate the types of components that are being transferred, and the sub-subclasses indicate the reaction processes that provide the driving force for the translocation.

At present only one subclass is represented: EC 7.3.2 Translocation of inorganic anions linked to the hydrolysis of a nucleoside triphosphate.

At present there is only one subclass: EC 7.4.2 Translocation of amino acids and peptides linked to the hydrolysis of a nucleoside triphosphate.
