N-acetyl-D-glucosamine kinase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NAGK gene. [1] [2]
N-acetylglucosamine kinase (NAGK; EC 2.7.1.59) converts endogenous N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), a major component of complex carbohydrates, from lysosomal degradation or nutritional sources into GlcNAc 6-phosphate. NAGK belongs to the group of N-acetylhexosamine kinases and is a prominent salvage enzyme of amino sugar metabolism in mammals.[supplied by OMIM] [2]
NAGK has been shown to interact with STK16 [3] and LNX1. [4]
Bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GNE gene.
Serine/threonine-protein kinase PCTAIRE-1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PCTK1 gene.
Serine/threonine-protein kinase tousled-like 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TLK1 gene.
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 D3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UBE2D3 gene.
N-acylglucosamine 2-epimerase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RENBP gene.
Ubiquitin specific peptidase 5 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the USP5 gene.
Tripartite motif-containing protein 29 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRIM29 gene.
MAP/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MARK3 gene.
Serine/threonine-protein kinase SRPK2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SRPK2 gene.
A kinase anchor protein 10, mitochondrial is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AKAP10 gene.
Serine/threonine-protein kinase 16 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the STK16 gene.
Alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 2-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MGAT1 gene.
MOB kinase activator 1A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MOB1A gene.
Peroxisome assembly protein 26 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PEX26 gene.
MAP/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MARK4 gene. MARK4 belongs to the family of serine/threonine kinases that phosphorylate microtubule-associated proteins (MAP) causing their detachment from microtubules. Detachment thereby increases microtubule dynamics and facilitates a number of cell activities including cell division, cell cycle control, cell polarity determination, and cell shape alterations.
Sialidase-4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NEU4 gene.
Brain-enriched guanylate kinase-associated protein is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BEGAIN gene.
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF25 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RNF25 gene.
Protein O-GlcNAc transferase also known as OGT or O-linked N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the OGT gene. OGT catalyzes the addition of the O-GlcNAc post-translational modification to proteins.
O-GlcNAc is a reversible enzymatic post-translational modification that is found on serine and threonine residues of nucleocytoplasmic proteins. The modification is characterized by a β-glycosidic bond between the hydroxyl group of serine or threonine side chains and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). O-GlcNAc differs from other forms of protein glycosylation: (i) O-GlcNAc is not elongated or modified to form more complex glycan structures, (ii) O-GlcNAc is almost exclusively found on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins rather than membrane proteins and secretory proteins, and (iii) O-GlcNAc is a highly dynamic modification that turns over more rapidly than the proteins which it modifies. O-GlcNAc is conserved across metazoans.
