2.7.1.30 |
| Accepted name: |
glycerol kinase |
| Reaction: |
ATP + glycerol = ADP + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate |
| Other name(s): |
glycerokinase; GK; ATP:glycerol-3-phosphotransferase; glycerol kinase (phosphorylating); glyceric kinase |
| Systematic name: |
ATP:glycerol 3-phosphotransferase |
| Comments: |
Glycerone and L-glyceraldehyde can act as acceptors; UTP (and, in the case of the yeast enzyme, ITP and GTP) can act as donors. |
