Function |
Catalyzes the phosphorylation of 2-phosphoglycerate to 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. Involved in the biosynthesis of cyclic 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, a thermoprotectant. |
Catalytic activity |
RHEA:42408: (2R)-2-phosphoglycerate + ATP = (2R)-2,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP + H(+)
EC 2.7.2.16
|
Cofactor |
a divalent metal cation |
Pathway |
Thermoadapter biosynthesis; cyclic 2,3-diphosphoglycerate biosynthesis; cyclic 2,3-diphosphoglycerate from 2-phospho-D-glycerate: step 1/2. |
Similarity |
Belongs to the 2-phosphoglycerate kinase family. |
