caption_attribution_description: English: Displays the structure of butyrate kinase.
context_page_description: In enzymology, a butyrate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
  ADP + butyryl-phosphate ATP + butyrate
  Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ADP and butyryl-phosphate, whereas its two products are ATP and butyrate.
  This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups with a carboxy group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:butanoate 1-phosphotransferase. This enzyme participates in butyrate metabolism.
  This enzyme is transcribed from the gene buk, which is part of the ASHKA super family.
