Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Sugar-1-kinase with a strict substrate specificity for D-glucuronic acid and ATP. Involved in the biosynthesis of UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA), providing nucleotide sugars for cell-wall polymers. May be also involved in a salvage pathway for glucuronic acid.
Similarity
Belongs to the GHMP kinase family.
