General Information
Term transferase activity ID (Ontology) GO:0016740 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor). Transferase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 2.[ EC:2 ]
