In enzymology a 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyldihydropteridine diphosphokinase (EC 2.7.6.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-78-dihydropteridine AMP + (2-amino-4-hydroxy-78-dihydropteridin-6-yl)methyl diphosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-78-dihydropteridine whereas its two products are AMP and (2-amino-4-hydroxy-78-dihydropteridin-6-yl)methyl diphosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring two phosphorus-containing groups (diphosphotransferases).
