In enzymology, an undecaprenol kinase (EC 2.7.1.66) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and undecaprenol, whereas its two products are ADP and undecaprenyl phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:undecaprenol phosphotransferase.
This enzyme participates in peptidoglycan biosynthesis.
