This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing
nucleotide groups (
nucleotidyltransferases). The
systematic name of this enzyme class is GTP:adenosylcobinamide-phosphate guanylyltransferase. Other names in common use include CobU, adenosylcobinamide kinase/adenosylcobinamide-phosphate, guanylyltransferase, and AdoCbi kinase/AdoCbi-phosphate guanylyltransferase. This enzyme is part of the biosynthetic pathway to
cobalamin (vitamin B12) in
bacteria.
