GALK2

Gene

GALK2

Protein

N-acetylgalactosamine kinase

Organism

Homo sapiens

Length

458 amino acids

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.

Similarity

Belongs to the GHMP kinase family. GalK subfamily.
