In enzymology an erythritol kinase (EC 2.7.1.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + erythritol ADP + D-erythritol 4-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and erythritol whereas its two products are ADP and D-erythritol 4-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
