N-acylmannosamine kinase
In enzymology, a N-acylmannosamine kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and N-acyl-D-mannosamine, whereas its two products are ADP and N-acyl-D-mannosamine 6-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:N-acyl-D-mannosamine 6-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include acylmannosamine kinase , acetylamidodeoxymannokinase, acetylmannosamine kinase, acylaminodeoxymannokinase, acylmannosamine kinase, N-acyl-D-mannosamine kinase, N-acetylmannosamine kinase, and ATP:N-acetylmannosamine 6-phosphotransferase. This enzyme participates in aminosugars metabolism.
