Abstract

N-Acetylgalactosamine kinase (GALK2) is a small molecule kinase from the GHMP family which phosphorylates N-acetylgalactosamine at the expense of ATP. Recombinant GALK2 expressed in, and purified from, Escherichia coli was shown to be active with the following kinetic parameters: Michaelis constant for ATP, 14 +/- 3 mu M; Michaelis constant for N-acetylgalactosamine, 40 +/- 14 mu M; and turnover number, 1.0 +/- 0.1 s
