IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 7.2.2.12

Accepted name: P-type Zn2+ transporter

Reaction: ATP + H2O + Zn2+[side 1] = ADP + phosphate + Zn2+[side 2]

Other name(s): Zn(II)-translocating P-type ATPase; Zn2+-exporting ATPase; P1B-type ATPase; HMA4 (gene name); zntA (gene name)

Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (P-type, Zn2+-exporting)

Comments: A P-type ATPase that undergoes covalent phosphorylation during the transport cycle. The enzyme, present in prokaryotes and photosynthetic eukaryotes, exports Zn2+ and the related cations Cd2+ and Pb2+.
