In biochemistry, a transferase is any one of a class of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor). [2]

transferase, any one of a class of more than 450 enzymes that catalyze the transfer of various chemical groups (other than hydrogen) from one compound to another. Transaminases, for example, catalyze the transfer of an amino group (―NH 2 ) from an amino acid to an a -keto acid.

2021年7月1日 · Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another. An example is acyl transferases that catalyze the transfer of acyl groups. An example is the peptidyl transferase. This enzyme transfers an amino acid from the tRNA molecule during the translation of protein biosynthesis. Transferases are ...

2011年3月3日 · Transferases are enzymes that transfer various functional groups to the polar groups of their acceptors, such as glutathione S-transferase, methyltransferase, N-acetyltransferase, sulfotransferase, and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase.

Transferases are enzyme species that catalyze the transfer of a particular functional group from one molecule to another molecule. One example of transferase is a transglutaminase.

Transferases are a class of enzymes that transfer specific functional groups from one molecule (donor) to another (acceptor). Transferases are implicated in hundreds of different biochemical pathways, and are essential to some of most important processes in lives.

Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the conjugation of acceptor substrates to endogenous chemical groups including glucuronide, sulfate, phosphate, acetate, reduced glutathione, amino acids (primarily glycine and glutamine for xenobiotic conjugation) and methyl groups.

2024年5月21日 · A transferase is an enzyme which is designed to transfer a functional chemical group from one molecule to a different molecule. Over 450 transferases have been recognized, and researchers are periodically uncovering new ones as they learn more about biology and the complexities of the body.

Active in the aqueous cellular environment where a massive excess of water is perpetually present, enzymes that catalyze the transfer of an electrophile to a non-water nucleophile (transferases) require specific strategies to inhibit mechanistically related hydrolysis reactions.

Any enzyme that catalyses the movement of atoms or groups of atoms from one molecule to another. A kinase adds a phosphate group to a substrate such as an amino acid. Collins Dictionary of Medicine © Robert M. Youngson 2004, 2005.
