EC 2.7.1.8 Details
EC number
2.7.1.8
Accepted name
glucosamine kinase
Reaction
ATP + D-glucosamine = ADP + D-glucosamine 6-phosphate
Other name(s)
glucosamine kinase (phosphorylating), ATP:2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphotransferase, aminodeoxyglucose kinase, ATP:D-glucosamine phosphotransferase
Systematic name
ATP:D-glucosamine 6-phosphotransferase
CAS registry number
9031-90-7
Comment
The enzyme is specific for glucosamine and has only a minor activity with D-glucose. Two unrelated enzymes with this activity 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, ADP-specific glucose/glucosamine kinase.
