Name |
fucokinase;
fucokinase (phosphorylating);
fucose kinase;
L-fucose kinase;
L-fucokinase;
ATP:6-deoxy-L-galactose 1-phosphotransferase;
ATP:L-fucose 1-phosphotransferase
|
Class |
Transferases;
Transferring phosphorus-containing groups;
Phosphotransferases with an alcohol group as acceptor
 |
Sysname |
ATP:beta-L-fucose 1-phosphotransferase
|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
ATP + L-fucose = ADP + beta-L-fucose 1-phosphate [RN: R03161]

Comment |
Requires a divalent cation for activity, with Mg2+ and Fe2+ giving rise to the highest enzyme activity. Forms part of a salvage pathway for reutilization of L-fucose. Can also phosphorylate D-arabinose, but more slowly.
