5-methyldeoxycytidine-5'-phosphate kinase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The enzyme characterised from Xanthomonas oryzae infected with a bacteriophage converts 5-methyldeoxycytidine 5'-phosphate to 5-methyldeoxycytidine diphosphate by transferring a phosphate group from the cofactor, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
This enzyme is a transferases, specifically one transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with a phosphate group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:5-methyldeoxycytidine-5'-phosphate phosphotransferase.
