/ˌeɪtiːˈpiː daɪˌfɒsfəˈteɪs/
enzyme that removes phosphate from ATP
Etymology
'ATP-diphosphatase' originates from the initialism 'ATP' (from 'adenosine triphosphate') combined with 'diphosphate' plus the enzyme-forming suffix '-ase'. / 「ATP-diphosphatase」は頭字語『ATP』(『adenosine triphosphate』)と『diphosphate』、および酵素を表す接尾辞『-ase』から成る。
'ATP' is a modern initialism formed from 'adenosine triphosphate'. The suffix '-ase' was coined in the late 19th century from the name 'diastase' and then generalized to form names of enzymes (e.g., 'phosphatase' from 'phosphate' + '-ase'), yielding 'diphosphatase' as 'diphosphate' + '-ase'. / 『ATP』は『adenosine triphosphate』の頭字語として近代に形成された。接尾辞『-ase』は19世紀後半に『diastase』の名前から作られ、酵素名形成に一般化した(例:'phosphatase'は 'phosphate' + '-ase')。その結果、『diphosphatase』は『diphosphate』+『-ase』として成立した。
Initially the element '-ase' identified enzymes by analogy with 'diastase'; over time enzyme names became systematically formed by combining a substrate name (here 'ATP'/'diphosphate') with '-ase', so 'ATP-diphosphatase' came to mean specifically an enzyme acting on ATP to remove phosphate. / 当初『-ase』は『diastase』にならって酵素を示す要素だったが、やがて基質名(ここでは『ATP』『diphosphate』)と結合して酵素名を体系的に作る形になり、『ATP-diphosphatase』はATPからリン酸を除く酵素を特定して示す語になった。
Meanings by Part of Speech
Noun 1
an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), removing phosphate group(s) from ATP (commonly producing ADP and inorganic phosphate); a specific type of ATPase/phosphatase acting on ATP.
ATP-diphosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate in many cellular processes.
