Background
| Function | FUNCTION: 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16006554}. |
| Pathway | |
| Protein Families | GHMP kinase family, GalK subfamily |
