In enzymology, an anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.18) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

anthranilate + phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate N-(5-phosphoribosyl)-anthranilate + diphosphate

The two substrates of this enzyme are anthranilate and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate. Its two products are N-(5-phosphoribosyl)-anthranilate and diphosphate.[1][2]

This enzyme participates in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis and two-component system (general).
