N-Acetylhexosamine kinase (NahK) - CAS 1609980-80-4

N-Acetylhexosamine kinase (NahK) acts as an anomeric kinase, primarily catalyzing the phosphorylation of GlcNAc or GalNAc at their anomeric C1 positions using ATP. This process results in the formation of N-acetylhexosamine 1-phosphate (GlcNAc-1P/GalNAc-1P), operating on glucose-type substrates [1] [2].
