In enzymology a hydroxyethylthiazole kinase (EC 2.7.1.50) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazole ADP + 4-methyl-5-(2-phosphonooxyethyl)thiazoleThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazole whereas its two products are ADP and 4-methyl-5-(2-phosphonooxyethyl)thiazole.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
