Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP01140
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 6436
  • HMDBP09361
Name N-acetylgalactosamine kinase
Synonyms
  1. GalNAc kinase
  2. Galactokinase 2
Gene Name GALK2
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in galactokinase activity
Specific Function Acts on GalNAc. Also acts as a galactokinase when galactose is present at high concentrations. May be involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex carbohydrates.
Pathways
  • Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism
  • Galactose metabolism
Reactions
Adenosine triphosphate + N-Acetyl-b-D-galactosamine → ADP + N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine 1-phosphate details
