context_page_description: In enzymology, a guanylate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
  ATP + GMP ADP + GDP
  Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and GMP, whereas its two products are ADP and GDP.
  This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups with a phosphate group as acceptor. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
  Guanylate kinase catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of GMP into GDP. It is essential for recycling GMP and indirectly, cGMP. In prokaryotes, lower eukaryotes and in vertebrates, GK is a highly conserved monomeric protein of about 200 amino acids. GK has been shown to be structurally similar to protein A57R from various strains of Vaccinia virus.

  Guanylate kinase catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of GMP into GDP. It is essential for recycling GMP and indirectly, cGMP. In prokaryotes (such as Escherichia coli), lower eukaryotes (such as yeast) and in vertebrates, GK is a highly conserved monomeric protein of about 200 amino acids. GK has been shown to be structurally similar to protein A57R (or SalG2R) from various strains of Vaccinia virus.
