ENZYME entry: EC 2.7.1.8

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.7.1.8
Accepted Name
glucosamine kinase
Reaction catalysed
D-glucosamine + ATP = D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + ADP + 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.
