About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for GALK2:
This gene encodes a highly efficient N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) kinase, which has galactokinase activity when
galactose is present at high concentrations. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms
have been found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: GALK2_HUMAN, Q01415
Function: Acts on GalNAc. Also acts as a galactokinase when galactose is present at high concentrations. May be
involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex
carbohydrates
