In enzymology, a sulfate adenylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:ATP + sulfate↔ diphosphate + adenylyl sulfate. Thus, the two substRates of this enzyme are ATP and sulfate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and adenylyl sulfate. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways:purine metabolism, selenoamino acid metabolism, and sulfur metabolism.
