Apulose kinase is a transferase (enzyme) that is involved in the catabolic pathway of D-apiose. The enzyme, studied in bacterial species, catalyzes the following reaction

Apulose + ATP= apulose-4-phosphate + ADP+ H

This enzyme is encoded in the gene apIK in the bacterial species Pectobacterium atrosepticum. [1] [2]
