Highly specific D-xylulose kinase which participates in the catabolism of xylose. Xylose is a major component of hemicelluloses such as xylan. Most fungi utilize D-xylose via three enzymatic reactions, xylose reductase (XR), xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), and xylulokinase, to form xylulose 5-phosphate, which enters pentose phosphate pathway (By similarity).

Belongs to the FGGY kinase family.
