Lipopolysaccharide transporting ATPase

In enzymology, a lipopolysaccharide-transporting ATPase (EC 3.6.3.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ATP + H₂O + lipopolysaccharidein ⇌ ADP + phosphate + lipopolysaccharideout

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, H₂O, and lipopolysaccharide, whereas its 3 products are ADP, phosphate, and lipopolysaccharide.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides to catalyse transmembrane movement of substances. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP phosphohydrolase (lipopolysaccharide-exporting).
