Rhamnulokinase

UniProtKB accession:  Q1R415

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the catabolism of L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose). It could also play a role in the metabolism of some rare sugars such as L-fructose. Catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate group from ATP to the 1-hydroxyl group of L-rhamnulose to yield L-rhamnulose 1-phosphate. It can also phosphorylate L-fuculose and L-xylulose. It requires the R-configuration at the C-3 atom.
