Galactokinase 2 (GALK2) (AA 1-458) protein (His tag)
Description
GALK2 acts as a galactokinase when galactose is present at high concentrations. GALK2 may be involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex carbohydrates. GALK2 has been reported to participate in pathways , such as Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, Galactose metabolism and Metabolic pathways.Alternative Names: N-acetylgalactosamine kinase, also known as GalNAc kinase, Galactokinase 2, GALK2 and GK2, is a member of the GHMP kinase family and GalK subfamily.
