Recombinant Human N-Acetylgalactosamine kinase/GALK2 (C-6His)

Source: Human Cells. MW :51.4kD. Recombinant Human Galactokinase 2 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Ala458 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. GALK2 acts as a galactokinase when galactose is present at high concentrations. GALK2 may be involved in a salvage pathway for the reutilization of free GalNAc derived from the degradation of complex carbohydrates. GALK2 has been reported to participate in pathways , such as Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, Galactose metabolism and Metabolic pathways. Protein 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
