Transferase -
: Transfer phosphate groups (typically from ATP) to substrates, a process essential for cell signaling and metabolic regulation. Aminotransferases (EC 2.6) : Transfer amino groups ( −NH2negative cap N cap H sub 2
: Transfer acyl groups, vital for fatty acid metabolism and the synthesis of structured lipids. Biological Roles transferase
: Transfer sugar moieties to form glycosidic bonds, which are essential for synthesizing blood group antigens and modifying drug stability. : Transfer phosphate groups (typically from ATP) to
Transferases are found throughout the cell, with high concentrations in the cytosol, mitochondria, and Golgi bodies. Molecule of the Month: Glutathione Transferases - PDB-101 with high concentrations in the cytosol
