Category:GO:0016887 ! ATP hydrolysis activity

name: ATP hydrolysis activity
namespace: molecular_function
alt_id: GO:0004002
alt_id: GO:0042623
def: "Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + H2O = ADP + H+ phosphate. ATP hydrolysis is used in some reactions as an energy source, for example to catalyze a reaction or drive transport against a concentration gradient." [RHEA:13065]
comment: Note that this term is meant to specifically represent the ATPase activity of proteins using ATP as a source of energy to drive a reaction. If possible, gene products should also be annotated to a child of 'ATP-dependent activity ; GO:0140657', to capture their overall function.
