 Use of N-Acetylhexosamine kinase


N-Acetylhexosamine kinase (NahK) is an anomeric kinase acting on a glucose-type substrate. N-Acetylhexosamine kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of GlcNAc or GalNAc at the anomeric C1 position with ATP to form N-acetylhexosamine 1-phosphate (GlcNAc-1P/GalNAc-1P)[1][2].
