In biochemistry, a kinase is a type of enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from high-energy donor molecules, such as ATP, to specific substrates, a process referred to as phosphorylation. Kinases are part of the larger family of phosphotransferases. Kinases are not to be confused with phosphorylases, which catalyze the addition of inorganic pho...

A type of enzyme that causes other molecules in the cell to become active. Some kinases work by adding chemicals called phosphates to other molecules, such as sugars or proteins. Kinases are a part of many cell processes. Some cancer treatments target certain kinases that are linked to cancer.

An enzyme whose function is to activate another enzyme from its precursor. This activation is achieved by transferring a phosphate group (phosphorylation) from ATP (adenosine triphospate), or other high-energy phosphate, to the precursor molecule. For this reason, kinases are also known as phosphotr...
