Inenzymology,aN-acetylgalactosamine kinase(EC2.7.1.157) is anenzymethatcatalyzesthechemical reaction

ATP + N-acetyl-D-galactosamineADP + N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine 1-phosphate

Thus, the twosubstratesof this enzyme areATPandN-acetyl-D-galactosamine,whereas its twoproductsareADPandN-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine 1-phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family oftransferases,specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. Thesystematic nameof this enzyme class isATP:N-acetyl-D-galactosamine 1-phosphotransferase.Other names in common use includeGALK2,GK2,GalNAc kinase,andN-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-1-phosphate kinase.
