In enzymology, a formate kinase (EC 2.7.2.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + formate ADP + formyl phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and formate, whereas its two products are ADP and .
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with a carboxy group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:formate phosphotransferase. This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism.
