GALK2 - galactokinase 2 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as GK2

Gene ID: 2585 | Gene type: protein coding

About GALK2

Cytogenetic location: 15q21.1-q21.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 15:49,155,774-49,367,740 (from NCBI)

This gene has 22 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in kidney (RPKM 4.3), duodenum (RPKM 3.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a highly efficient N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) kinase, which has galactokinase activity when galactose is present at high concentrations. The encoded protein is a member of the GHMP kinase family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]
