In enzymology, a L-xylulokinase (EC 2.7.1.53) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ATP + L-xylulose ADP + L-xylulose 5-phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and L-xylulose, whereas its two products are ADP and L-xylulose 5-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:L-xylulose 5-phosphotransferase. This enzyme is also called L-xylulokinase (phosphorylating). This enzyme participates in pentose and glucuronate interconversions and ascorbate and aldarate metabolism.

Fructokinase, also known as D-fructokinase or D-fructose (D-mannose) kinase, is an enzyme of the liver, intestine, and kidney cortex. Fructokinase is in a family of enzymes called transferases, meaning that this enzyme transfers functional groups; it is also considered a phosphotransferase since it specifically transfers a phosphate group. Fructokinase specifically catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from adenosine triphosphate to fructose as the initial step in its utilization. The main role of fructokinase is in carbohydrate metabolism, more specifically, sucrose and fructose metabolism. The reaction equation is as follows:
