Transferases,EC 2

Transferases catalyse the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor).They are involved in hundreds of different biochemical pathways throughout biology, and are integral to some of life's most important processes. Described primarily based on the type of biochemical group transferred, transferases can be divided into ten categories，These categories comprise over 450 different unique enzymes. In the EC numbering system, transferases have been given a classification of EC2.
