Gene nameGALK2
Protein nameN-acetylgalactosamine kinase (EC 2.7.1.157) (GalNAc kinase) (Galactokinase 2)
Galactokinase 2 (cDNA, FLJ79339, highly similar to N-acetylgalactosamine kinase)
Galactokinase 2
SynonymsGK2
DescriptionFUNCTION: Acts on GalNAc. Also acts as a galactokinase when galactose is present at high concentrations. May be involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex carbohydrates. .
