About Galk2

Summary

Predicted to enable Galactokinase activity. Predicted to be involved in galactose metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; ear; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human GALK2 (Galactokinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
