In enzymology an ADP-specific glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.147) also known as ADP-dependent glucokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionADP + D-glucose AMP + D-glucose 6-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ADP and D-glucose whereas its two products are AMP and D-glucose 6-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases to be specific those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.In humans the ADP-dependent glucokinase is encoded by the ADPGK gene.
