Include only IUIS approved allergens.

Biochemical properties

ATP:guanido phosphotransferases are a family of structurally and functionally related enzymes that reversibly catalyze the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens. The substrate binding site is located in the cleft between N and C-terminal domains [1].

Allergens from this family

Allergenic members of this family are arginine kinases. These are minor allergens from crustaceans, mites, and insects [2, 3].
