What Does NDPK Stand For?

NDPK stands for Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase

Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase (NDPK) is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of phosphate groups from nucleoside triphosphates to nucleoside diphosphates, facilitating the regeneration of nucleoside triphosphates within the cell. This enzyme plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism, nucleotide synthesis, and maintaining nucleotide pools, thereby supporting various biochemical processes essential for cell growth and function. NDPK is found in a wide range of organisms and is important in both basal metabolic and signaling pathways.
