EC 2.7.1.86

Accepted name: NADH kinase

Reaction: ATP + NADH = ADP + NADPH

Other name(s): reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide kinase (phosphorylating); DPNH kinase; reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide kinase; NADH2 kinase

Systematic name: ATP:NADH 2'-phosphotransferase

Comments: CTP, ITP, UTP and GTP can also act as phosphate donors (in decreasing order of activity). The enzyme is specific for NADH. Activated by acetate.
