In enzymology a glutamate 5-kinase (EC 2.7.2.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + L-glutamate ADP + L-glutamate 5-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and L-glutamate whereas its two products are ADP and L-glutamate 5-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with a carboxy group as acceptor.
