We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) catalyzes the exchange of phosphate between nucleoside triphosphate and nucleoside diphosphate. This reaction is a multi-step reaction which is used for the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates other than ATP[1]. NDK provides nucleoside triphosphates for nucleic acid synthesis, CTP for lipid synthesis, UTP for polysaccharide synthesis and GTP for protein elongation, signal transduction and microtubule polymerization.
