Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 55577
Gene name N-acetylglucosamine kinase
Gene symbol NAGK
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GNKHSA242910
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2p13.3
Summary This gene encodes a member of the N-acetylhexosamine kinase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate, and is the major mammalian enzyme which recovers amino sugars. [provided by R
