In enzymology a branched-chain-fatty-acid kinase (EC 2.7.2.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 2-methylpropanoate ADP + 2-methylpropanoyl phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 2-methylpropanoate whereas its two products are ADP and 2-methylpropanoyl phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with a carboxy group as acceptor.
