catalyzes Catalysis () is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst (). Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and remain unchanged after it. If the reaction is rapid and the catalyst recyc ...

the chemical reaction :UTP + rotein-PII

\rightleftharpoons

diphosphate + uridylyl- rotein-PII Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UTP and protein-PII, whereas its two products are diphosphate and uridylyl-[protein-PII">rotein-PII.html" ;"title="uridylyl-[protein-PII">uridylyl-[protein-PII This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). The List of enzymes, systematic name of this enzyme class is UTP: rotein-PIIuridylyltransferase. Other names in common use include PII uridylyl-transferase, and uridyl removing enzyme. This enzyme participates in two-component system - general.
