2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonic acid 6-phosphate

The enzyme characterised from Gluconobacter liquefaciens converts -dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonic acid to 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonic acid 6-phosphate by transferring a phosphate group from the cofactor, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).[1]

This enzyme is a transferase, specifically one transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate 6-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include 2-keto-3-deoxygalactonokinase, 2-keto-3-deoxygalactonate kinase (phosphorylating), and 2-oxo-3-deoxygalactonate kinase.[2]
