Gene Details: NAGK
1 / 1
General Information
Gene Name: NAGK (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine kinase)
Synonym:
Short Names: N-acetylglucosamine kinase;
Alternative Names: GlcNAc kinase;Muramyl dipeptide kinase;N-acetyl-D-mannosamine kinase;
Notes:
- N-Acetylglucosamine kinase phosphorylates GlcNAc on the 6 carbon to form GlcNAc 6 phosphate. Is the precursor for UDP-GlcNAc.
