Plus-end-directed kinesin ATPase (EC 3.6.4.4, kinesin) is an enzyme with systematic name kinesin ATP phosphohydrolase (plus-end-directed).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

ATP + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] ADP + phosphate

This enzyme also hydrolyses GTP.
