ID   2.7.1.8
DE   glucosamine kinase.
CA   ATP + D-glucosamine = ADP + D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme is specific for glucosamine and has only a minor activity
CC       with D-glucose.
CC   -!- Two unrelated enzymes with this activityn have been described.
CC   -!- One type was studied in the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, where it
CC       participates in a chitin degradation pathway.
CC   -!- The other type has been described from actinobacteria, where it is
CC       involved in the incorporation of environmental glucosamine into
CC       antibiotic biosynthesis pathways. cf. EC 2.7.1.147.
