L-xylulokinase (EC 2.7.1.53) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The enzyme characterised from Aerobacter aerogenes converts L-xylulose to L-xylulose-5-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:L-xylulose 5-phosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called L-xylulokinase (phosphorylating).[2]
