ENZYME entry: EC 2.7.1.8

Accepted Name
glucosamine kinase.
Reaction catalysed
ATP + D-glucosamine <=> ADP + D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is specific for glucosamine and has only a minor activity with D-glucose.
  • Two unrelated enzymes with this activityn have been described.
  • One type was studied in the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, where it participates in a chitin degradation pathway.
  • The other type has been described from actinobacteria, where it is involved in the incorporation of environmental glucosamine into antibiotic biosynthesis pathways.
  • Cf. EC 2.7.1.147.
