Gentamicin 2"-nucleotidyltransferase

In enzymology, a gentamicin 2"-nucleotidyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * nucleoside triphosphate + gentamicin $$\rightleftharpoons$$ diphosphate + 2"-nucleotidylgentamicin

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are nucleoside triphosphate and gentamicin, whereas its two products are diphosphate and 2''-nucleotidylgentamicin.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is NTP:gentamicin 2"-nucleotidyltransferase. Other names in common use include gentamicin 2"-adenylyltransferase, aminoglycoside adenylyltransferase, and gentamycin 2"-nucleotidyltransferase.
