Reaction: ATP + H2O + Mg2+[side 1] = ADP + phosphate + Mg2+[side 2]
Other name(s): Mg2+-transporting P-type ATPase; Mg2+-transporting ATPase; Mg2+-importing ATPase; magnesium-translocating P-type ATPase; mgtA (gene name); mgtB (gene name)
Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (P-type, Mg2+-importing)
Comments: A P-type ATPase that undergoes covalent phosphorylation during the transport cycle. A bacterial enzyme that imports Mg2+ with, rather than against, the Mg2+ electrochemical gradient. The enzyme is also involved in Ni2+ import.
