Identification
HMDB Protein ID CDBP00965
Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name N-acetyl-D-glucosamine kinase
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. GlcNAc kinase
  2. N-acetylglucosamine kinase
Gene Name NAGK
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Carbohydrate transport and metabolism
Specific Function Converts endogenous N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), a major component of complex carbohydrates, from lysosomal degradation or nutritional sources into GlcNAc 6-phosphate. Involved in the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) degradation pathway: although human is not able to catalyze formation of Neu5Gc due to the inactive CMAHP enzyme, Neu5Gc is present in food and must be degraded. Also has ManNAc kinase activity.
