Kinase vs. Phosphorylase

Kinasenoun

Any of a group of enzymes that transfer phosphate groups from high-energy donor molecules, such as ATP, to specific target molecules (substrates), in a process termed phosphorylation.

Kinasenoun

One of a class of enzymes that catalyze transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to another molecule; it is a type of phosphorylase.

Kinasenoun

an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a proenzyme to an active enzyme

Kinase

In biochemistry, a kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of phosphate groups from high-energy, phosphate-donating molecules to specific substrates. This process is known as phosphorylation, where the substrate gains a phosphate group and the high-energy ATP molecule donates a phosphate group.

Phosphorylasenoun

(enzyme) Any enzyme that catalyzes the production of glucose phosphate from glycogen and inorganic phosphate

Phosphorylase

In biochemistry, phosphorylases are enzymes that catalyze the addition of a phosphate group from an inorganic phosphate (phosphate+hydrogen) to an acceptor. A-B + P ⇌ A + P-BThey include allosteric enzymes that catalyze the production of glucose-1-phosphate from a glucan such as glycogen, starch or maltodextrin.
