In enzymology, an alkylglycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.93) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ATP + 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol ADP + 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol, whereas its two products are ADP and 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include 1-alkylglycerol kinase (phosphorylating), ATP-alkylglycerol phosphotransferase, alkylglycerol phosphotransferase, and ATP: 1-alkyl-sn-glycerol phosphotransferase. This enzyme participates in ether lipid metabolism.

sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate is the organic ion with the formula HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OPO32-. It is one of three stereoisomers of the ester of dibasic phosphoric acid (HOPO32-) and glycerol. It is a component of glycerophospholipids. From a historical reason, it is also known as L-glycerol 3-phosphate, D-glycerol 1-phosphate, L-α-glycerophosphoric acid.
