ENZYME entry: EC 2.7.1.8
Accepted Name |
Glucosamine kinase.
|
Reaction catalysed |
ATP + D-glucosamine <=> ADP + D-glucosamine 6-phosphate |
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.
